Arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), cause your heart to beat out of rhythm. This feeling can be unsettling. Severe, untreated arrhythmias may increase your risk of heart failure, stroke, and other heart problems. The heart rhythm specialists (electrophysiologists) at the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Cardiovascular Institute offer treatments to get your heart on the right beats.
At the AHN Atrial Fibrillation Clinic, we provide care for people taking medications to manage heart rhythms. We also provide pre- and post-procedural care for people who get mechanical circulatory support devices, ablations (heart scarring that redirects electrical impulses), or cardioversion (electrical shocks) to keep the heart in rhythm. Learn more about these treatments for heart arrhythmia.
