Ventricular arrhythmia occurs when the heart’s lower chambers beat out of sync, which can prevent the heart from effectively pumping blood throughout the body. Diagnosis of ventricular arrhythmia ...

Electrophysiology (EP) procedures are crucial in diagnosing and treating various heart rhythm disorders. They involve a doctor placing thin catheters into the heart to assess its electrical activity.

A joint study by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the University Hospital Würzburg provides new insights into why heart muscle cells lose their rhythm in atrial fibrillation.

Recurrent arrhythmia, where irregular heart rhythms return even after treatment, can present challenges and increase the risk of complications, but can be managed with a cardiologist’s help and ...

The first step to manage your atrial fibrillation (AFib) is to talk to your doctor about treatments that will control your heart rate or heart rhythm. One way to control your AFib is to take rhythm ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, and even premature death. While many risk factors contribute to A-fib, one stands ...

The sinoatrial (SA) node is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It generates electrical impulses that cause the heart’s chambers to contract, setting the heart rate. The SA node typically generates 60 ...

Using computers to make a digital replica of the heart—a digital heart twin—can successfully identify problem areas deep in the heart muscle of people with a serious heart rhythm disorder, a new study ...
