The heart is a cruel magician. It tricks us into believing rhythm is a universal law. Rivers of blood flow through our veins at a conductor’s pace. Wind sails in and out of our lungs with an orchestra’s precision. We nod our head to the beat. What a beloved song, what a farce. Defined as the abnormality of the heart’s rhythm, arrhythmia is not a failure but rather an inconvenient truth. It is the organ exposed for what it really is—a ticking time bomb.
