Care for Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are disorders of the regular rhythmic beating of your heart. When your heart beats too slowly, you may become tired, dizzy or pass out. When your heart beats too fast, you may experience palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain and lightheadedness. However, some people may experience no symptoms whatsoever.

Diagnosis

We offer several tests to diagnose arrhythmias. Our experienced, knowledgeable and caring staff uses state-of-the-art technology and equipment for all of these tests: 

Treatment

Medication often can be used to control your arrhythmia. However, if diagnostic tests determine you need a procedure to correct your problem, you'll get the care you need at Lehigh Valley Health Network. We are the third largest heart program in Pennsylvania and are recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of "America's Best Hospitals" for heart care and heart surgery.

We offer these treatments to help your heart beat regularly:
