Not really, although it can tend to run in families. It is something people are born with. Very basically, it happens when a heart has an extra electrical pathway which at times causes a rapid heart rate. It sometimes can be serious, so if you haven't seen an electrophysiologist, find one soon.
More information is available at the Heart Rhythm Society website.
Good Luck :>)
