Understanding Arrhythmia

A cardiac arrhythmia is an irregular or abnormal heart rate or rhythm. It can lead to a range of symptoms, from decreased exercise tolerance to more severe, life-threatening conditions such as stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death.

Comprehensive Care for All

We specialize in treating a wide spectrum of arrhythmia concerns, including:

• Bradycardia: Slow heart rhythms
• Tachycardia: Fast heart rhythms
• Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB): Irregular heart rhythms
• Cardiac Electrical Conduction Issues

Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine the best treatment plan tailored to their needs.

Improving Your Heart’s Rhythm and Quality of Life

Our goal is to enhance your quality of life by addressing your arrhythmia symptoms. For some conditions, we also focus on reducing the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.

• In 1972, we achieved a historic milestone by implanting the world’s first nuclear-powered pacemaker.
