According to Ayurveda cause of abnormal heart rate is 'Hridroga', i.e. heart disease. There are three energies or doshas, i.e. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Dosha. Imbalance of any of the dosha results in disease. In case of abnormal heart rate or arrhythmia, the cause may be an aggravation of the Pitta dosha which causes an increase in heart rate, vitiation of Vata dosha which results in irregular heartbeat and aggravation of Kapha dosha which causes a decrease in normal heart rate.
