Electrophysiology: Heart Rhythm & Arrhythmia Care at Erlanger

Arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorder) happens when the electrical impulses that cause the heart to pump are too fast, too slow, or irregular. While usually not life-threatening, a heart rhythm disorder may deprive your brain and other organs of the oxygen-rich blood they need. That's why it's important to talk with your doctor if you suspect you have an arrhythmia.
