About Irregular Heartbeat

An irregular heart beat, or arrhythmia, is more than just a skipped beat; it's a signal that the heart's electrical system is compromised. At AZ Cardiology, led by Dr. Kishlay Anand, we specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of arrhythmias, focusing on personalized strategies to restore a healthy rhythm and protect your long-term cardiovascular health.

Irregular Heartbeat Q&A

Understanding Arrhythmias: From Tachycardia to Bradycardia

An arrhythmia occurs when the heart beats too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or erratically. Common symptoms of an irregular heart beat include lightheadedness, shortness of breath, a fluttering sensation, and chronic fatigue. Early diagnosis is key to preventing complications like stroke and heart failure.

Specialized Care for Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)

Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) is the most common serious type of irregular heart beat. It causes the heart's upper chambers to quiver chaotically, leading to inefficient blood pumping and increasing the risk of blood clots. Our comprehensive A-Fib program includes:

  • Medical Management: Rate-control and rhythm-control medications.
  • Cardioversion: A procedure to reset the heart's rhythm.
  • Ablation Procedures: Advanced radiofrequency or cryoablation to correct faulty electrical pathways.

Advanced Diagnostics for Heart Rhythm Disorders

To accurately diagnose your specific irregular heart beat, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including prolonged heart monitoring (Holter and Event Monitors) and specialized imaging to assess structural heart damage.
