Types of ResourcesAlso known as Arrhythmia or Irregular Heartbeat
When the electrical impulses that cause the heart to pump are too fast, too slow, or irregular, the brain and other organs may not be getting the oxygen-rich blood they need. These problems in the heart’s rhythm are called heart rhythm disorders, or arrhythmias. Most heart rhythm disorders are not a problem, but because some may cause permanent damage to the heart and other organs, it is important to talk with your doctor if you suspect you have an arrhythmia.
UT Erlanger Cardiology includes highly specialized electrophysiologists trained treating all types of heart rhythm disorders, and who in fact train other physicians from around the world in these cutting-edge treatments.
