Cardiac Arrhythmia Center

St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center

Cardiac arrhythmias occur when electrical signals don’t properly coordinate or follow the proper pathways in the heart, resulting in rapid or irregular heartbeats, which often feel like fluttering or a racing heartbeat. The Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center provides the latest diagnostic assessment and treatments for patients with arrhythmias.

In addition, as part of St. Elizabeth’s integrated cardiac program, electrophysiology (EP) physicians work closely with heart failure and stroke experts, along with cardiothoracic surgeons, to provide the best treatment, care, and outcomes.
