Your heart relies on a precise electrical system to maintain a steady rhythm. When that system is disrupted, it can cause arrhythmias — irregular heartbeats that may be harmless or potentially serious.

At Tanner Heart Care, our electrophysiology specialists diagnose and treat heart rhythm disorders using advanced technology and minimally invasive procedures. We work with you to restore a normal rhythm and reduce your risk of complications like stroke or heart failure.

Understanding heart rhythm disorders

An arrhythmia occurs when the electrical signals that control your heartbeat are too fast, too slow or irregular.

Common conditions we treat include:

• Atrial fibrillation (AFib)

• Atrial flutter

•  Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) 

• Ventricular tachycardia

• Bradycardia

Symptoms may include palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath or fainting. Some patients may not notice symptoms at all, which is why proper diagnosis is important.

Advanced diagnostic tools

Our goal is to control your heart rhythm, relieve symptoms and reduce long-term risks. We use a range of tests to evaluate your heart’s electrical activity and pinpoint the source of the problem, including:

• Electrocardiogram (EKG)

• Holter and event monitors  

• Implantable loop recorders

• Electrophysiology (EP) studies

• These tools help us understand how your heart is functioning and guide your treatment plan.

• Treatment options tailored to you

• Treatment depends on the type and severity of your arrhythmia.

• Cardiac ablation to target abnormal electrical pathways

• Pacemaker implantation to regulate slow heart rhythms

• Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent sudden cardiac arrest

• Medication management for rhythm and rate control

Many of these treatments are minimally invasive and performed in specialized cardiac labs.

Ongoing care for lifelong heart health

Managing a heart rhythm condition is not a one-time event. Our team partners with you for long-term care, monitoring your condition and adjusting treatment as needed.
