Arrhythmias (Fast or Slow Heart Rates)

Arrhythmias refer to excessively fast or slow heart rates – any irregularity of the heartbeat. It is a common heart disorder that is a consequence of coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease and heart failure, and can cause a further deterioration of these conditions.

At the UConn Health Center, specialists have expertise diagnosing and treating both fast and slow arrhythmias. Advanced medicine and devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators are specifically tailored for each individual patient. Through the Health Center's state-of-the-art Heart Rhythm Center, advanced technologies help to precisely diagnose and treat heart rhythm problems, including cardiac ablation procedures.
