Arrhythmia is a condition of the heart, in which the protagonist, Hisao has been diagnosed with. Arrhythmia is essentially, a disturbed heart rhythm.

History[edit | edit source]

Hisao's condition became evident when he suffers a heart attack at the beginning of the story when meeting Iwanako. The doctors expressed their amazement that it didn't show itself until he was a teenager.  He was diagnosed with it shortly thereafter. He struggled to live with the symptoms for a while after before eventually overcoming and learning to live with them.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Arrhythmia is often detected at an early age, but in Hisao's case, it did not become evident until he suffered a heart attack in his teen years. During moments in the story he would often have heart palpitations, a common symptom that can be dangerous. The heart may beat too quickly, too slowly or erratically.[1]
