Ashman phenomenon or Ashman’s beat represents an irregular heartbeat that appears in the electrocardiography of people with some heart diseases (atrial fibrillation for example).
Ashman phenomenon has no specific symptoms. However, a patient may experience some symptoms due to the underlying heart condition; these symptoms may be one of the following:
Palpitations
Shortness of breath
Lightheadedness
Ashman phenomenon occurs in patients with heart conditions like:
Atrial fibrillation

Ashman phenomenon doesn’t require specific treatment. However, treatment for the underlying heart problem, such as regulating the heartbeat or rhythm in atrial fibrillation, may be necessary.
