Heart Rhythm Center: Arrythmia Treatment

Heartbeats: The Rhythm of Life

It can be upsetting to learn that you have an irregular heartbeat, also known as an arrhythmia. If your arrhythmia is mild, it may not require treatment or cause problems. Sometimes, however, an arrhythmia can interfere with your ability to enjoy life. Symptoms may include weakness, fainting, palpitations and low blood pressure. South Miami Heart Center understands your concern. In fact, we created the inpatient L. Austin Weeks Center for Cardiac Electrophysiology to address your needs.

Expert Care, Accurate Diagnosis

If you need to be evaluated for arrhythmia, South Miami Heart Center is the right place to be. Our Center for Cardiac Electrophysiology specialists use the latest methods to evaluate and treat heart rhythm problems. Our cardiac electrophysiologists and specially trained staff provide diagnostic tests, including EKG, complete electrophysiology studies and other monitoring methods. In the case of devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, electrophysiologists use real-time, three-dimensional images of the heart to look inside the heart chambers. In this way, they can determine if the device is functioning effectively or if adjustments are needed.
