Heart palpitations—the feeling that your heart is fluttering, racing, or skipping a beat—can be unsettling. While they can be caused by stress, caffeine, or nicotine, they may also be a warning sign of underlying serious conditions like heart valve disease or Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib). AZ Cardiology provides specialized monitoring to capture and diagnose these sporadic symptoms.
If your heart palpitations are frequent, accompanied by dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain, immediate medical evaluation is crucial. Since palpitations are often sporadic, an in-office EKG may not capture the event.
Because heart palpitations are often sporadic and unpredictable, AZ Cardiology utilizes advanced cardiac monitoring systems to capture these critical electrical events outside of the office. These tools are essential for accurately diagnosing the root cause of an irregular heart beat or A-Fib.
Once the cause of your heart palpitations is diagnosed—whether it’s benign or a sign of a serious arrhythmia like Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)—Dr. Anand and the team develop a tailored treatment plan. Our goal is to eliminate or significantly reduce the frequency of palpitations and manage the underlying condition.
Don't let the uncertainty of heart palpitations create anxiety. At AZ Cardiology, we combine accurate EKG technology with sophisticated long-term monitoring and expert intervention to provide peace of mind and lasting heart health. Schedule your comprehensive cardiac evaluation today.
