Will a heart arrythmia disqualify you from military service?
I would say it's pretty safe to say the answer is 'Yes' based on the Medical Standards for the Military located at the website http://www.military.com/Recruiting/Content/0,13898,rec_step07_DQ_medical,,00.HTML
It specifically outlines the causes for rejection for appointment, enlistment, and induction are:
a. All valvular Heart diseases, congenital or acquired, including those improved by surgery except mitral valve prolapse and bicuspid aortic valve. These latter two conditions are not reasons for rejection unless there is associated tachyarrhythmia, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, insufficiency, or cardiomegaly.
b. Coronary Heart disease.
c. Symptomatic arrhythmia (or electrocardiographic evidence of arrhythmia), history of.
(1) Supraventricular tachycardia, or any dysrhythmia originating from the atrium or sinoatrial node, such as atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation, unless there has been no recurrence during the preceding 2 years while off all medications. Premature atrial or ventricular contractions are disqualifying when sufficiently symptomatic to require treatment or result in physical or psychological impairment.
(2) Ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation, tachycardia, and multi focal premature ventricular contractions. Occasional asymptomatic premature ventricular contractions are not disqualifying.
(3) Ventricular conduction disorders, left bundle branch block, Mobitz type II second degree atrioventricular (AV) block, and third degree AV block. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and Lown-Ganong-Levine-Syndrome associated with an arrhythmia are also disqualifying.
(4) Conduction disturbances such as first degree AV block, left anterior hemiblock, right bundle branch block, or Mobitz type I second degree AV block are disqualifying when symptomatic or associated with underlying cardiovascular disease.
d. Hypertrophy or dilatation of the heart.
e. Cardiomyopathy, including myocarditis, or history of congestive heart failure even though currently compensated.
f. Pericarditis.
g. Persistent tachycardia (resting pulse rate of 100 or greater).
h. Congenital anomalies of heart and great vessels, except for corrected patent ductus arteriosus.

First you would need to find out what is causing the symptom(s) or physical finding(s) that you have.

Once you have ruled out all serious conditions, you may request a waiver to enter the military. You'll be surprised what medical conditions can waived if you have a skill they need.
