Do you have an irregular heartbeat?

An irregular heartbeat is not necessarily a sign of a serious heart problem, but this irregularity (arrhythmia) might prevent the heart from pumping enough blood to the body.

Reduced blood flow can damage your heart, brain or other vital organs.

If you have an irregular heartbeat, you may experience:

A flutter or palpitation of a skipped or an extra beat.
Light-headedness.
Dizziness.
Shortness of breath.
Chest pain.

A healthy heart can experience an arrhythmia, too. It can happen because of:

Heart disease.
High blood pressure.
Smoking/alcohol use.
Diabetes, with its added risk of high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
A heart attack that changes the heart’s electrical system.
Sleep apnea, which strains the heart when it doesn’t get sufficient oxygen.

We begin your care with a conversation.

If tests show you need additional care, we’ll discuss your options as a team.

Treatment may include:

Medication.
Pacemaker or defibrillator to maintain a natural heart rhythm.
Catheter ablation, a nonsurgical procedure that destroys or ablates tiny areas of the heart that cause heart rhythm irregularities.
