During an Asthma attack there is no sufficient air entering the lungs, which can affect the heart in many ways.

Firstly, it creates stress and releases adrenaline, which speeds up the heart beat.

Secondly, the pressure in the lungs makes it difficult for blood to pass by the capillaries, and to be oxygenated, which blocks the right ventricle, and as a consequence, also the left atrium.

If the asthma attack is not dealt with fast, then the rise in pulse and the decrease in blood pressure (not enough blood reaching left side of heart, hence not pumping enough to rest of body), then you could have a cardiac arrhythmia (eg. atrial fibrillation), or in sever cases an heart attack.

However, this occurs only in extreme cases, and mainly in people with existing heart problems. _____________________________________________________________________ Your heart will beat faster when your having a hard time to breathe. You cannot get heart failure if it beats to fast as your heart is made of myocardium Muscle which never get tired. For more information contact meHow_heart_works heart is beating to fast this is often referred to as Sinus Tachycardia. Sinus Tachycardia is a medical emergency!! It is likely that the subject will seize before this happens. An irregular heat beat is called Sinus arrthymia. This is increasly common and many people are unaware they have it. By the use of local anaesthetic the patient is shocked and the heart 'reset'.
