Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation at Nuvance Health: Why Choose Us? 

Heart rhythm conditions (heart arrythmias) happen when the heart beats too slowly, too quickly or with an irregular rhythm. The most common arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition that can cause poor blood flow and increase your risk of blood clots and stroke. Turn to Nuvance Health for advanced care for all types of heart rhythm conditions, including arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation. We offer:

  • Advanced technology

    A specially trained team performs advanced procedures at our full-service electrophysiology laboratories, including:

    • Real-time magnetic imaging to create a 3-D map of the heart chamber
    • Robotic cardiac ablation to resolve arrhythmias
    • Minimally invasive procedures to implant devices that maintain your heart’s rhythm
  • Access to new therapies
    Your care team provides access to advanced treatment options and promising new therapies. These include the left atrial appendage occlusion device (Watchman™), which helps reduce stroke risk for people with atrial fibrillation.
  • Ongoing support
    We offer advanced options for managing heart rhythm disorders over time. Nuvance Health monitors thousands of people with conditions like yours. You can have peace of mind knowing your condition is under control.
Heart rhythm disorders, or cardiac arrhythmias, aren’t just uncomfortable—they can increase your risk of stroke. These disorders affect the heart’s electrical system. Nuvance Health® cardiac electrophysiology specialists have expertise in all types of arrhythmias, including:
  • Atrial fibrillation (AFib)
  • Atrial flutter
  • Atrial tachycardia
  • Cardiac arrhythmias
  • Premature ventricular contractions
  • Supraventricular tachycardia
  • Ventricular tachycardia

Diagnosis and Treatment for Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation

We use advanced diagnostic tools to record the heart’s electrical activity and find the source of the rhythm disorder. An accurate diagnosis helps your care team determine the best possible treatment, such as:

Heart medicine for Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation

Your doctor may recommend heart medicine to manage mild symptoms over time.
