Symptoms of heart arrhythmia
Heart arrhythmias can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly, and symptoms may vary from person to person. Warning signs can include chest fluttering, heart palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, chest discomfort and fatigue. These are symptoms you should not ignore, and you should seek medical care if they occur. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have a family history of arrhythmias, as some conditions can be inherited.
Diagnosing heart arrhythmia
To accurately diagnose your condition, our electrophysiologists may recommend one or more of the following imaging and diagnostic tests:
- Cardiac stress tests
- Echocardiograms
- Electrocardiograms (EKGs)
- Holter monitorings
- Implantable loop recorders
Arrhythmia treatments and procedures
Many heart rhythm problems improve with medications and healthy habit changes. If you need additional care, our heart rhythm specialists will recommend the option or combination of options that best fits your needs, which may include:
- Catheter ablations
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) implantation
- Pacemaker implantation
- Radiofrequency ablation
Heart arrhythmia treatment is only needed if the irregular heartbeat is disrupting your day-to-day activities through significant symptoms or puts you at risk for more serious heart health conditions. We will work with you to ensure you are educated on all available treatment plans that best suit your health.
