Arrhythmia Care
Fluttering. Quivering. Dizziness. Shortness of breath. Chest pain. If you are among the millions of people who have atrial fibrillation (AFib), you know all too well how frightening and uncomfortable these symptoms can be.
AFib is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase your risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Although AFib itself usually isn’t life-threatening, it is a serious medical condition that sometimes requires emergency treatment.

Palpitations
