Arryhthmia

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR HEART’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Arrhythmia may not cause any outward or obvious symptoms, so you may not even know you have it.  If you do have symptoms, they are likely to be:

• A fluttering in your chest
• A racing heartbeat (tachycardia)
• A slow heartbeat (bradycardia)
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Lightheadedness
• Dizziness
• Fainting or near fainting

Other signs and symptoms may be related to reduced blood output from your heart. At the Heart Institute at ARMC, your arrhythmia is diagnosed and treated using:

• The facilities of its state-of-the-art electrophysiology lab
• An individualized approach to determine the most effective, least invasive options
• Leading edge technology including the most advanced implantable devices, if needed
• Electrophysiology (EP)tests to determine your heart’s rhythm
