heart rhythm management

Heart rhythm management involves diagnosing and treating irregularities in the heart’s electrical signals that control its beating. The goal is to restore a normal, steady heartbeat to ensure effective blood circulation. This can include medications to regulate rhythm, lifestyle changes, or devices like pacemakers that provide electrical impulses to maintain a regular pace. In some cases, procedures such as ablation remove faulty tissue causing arrhythmias. Overall, heart rhythm management aims to improve quality of life and reduce the risk of complications like stroke or heart failure, by ensuring the heart beats effectively and consistently.
