What Are Heart Flutters?

Cardiac tremor is a slight tremor felt in the palm of the hand when palpating the heart, also known as cat asthma. It is a characteristic sign of organic cardiovascular disease. It is more common in heart valve stenosis and some congenital heart diseases. The occurrence of tremor is caused by the blood flowing through the narrow caliber or in an abnormal direction to form a vortex, which causes the valve, blood vessel or heart wall vibration to be transmitted to the chest wall.
