Irregular Heartbeat Treatment in Midtown Manhattan
An irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, is a condition where the heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an abnormal rhythm. While some arrhythmias are harmless, others may signal a serious cardiovascular issue that requires medical attention. At The New York Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease in Midtown Manhattan, Dr. Bradley Radwaner provides thorough diagnostic evaluations and customized treatment plans to help patients understand and manage this common heart condition. Our office serves the greater New York metropolitan area.
Understanding the Signs and Causes
A variety of factors, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, thyroid disease, and habits like stimulant or caffeine use can cause arrhythmias. None of them have symptoms, but some of them experience palpitations, fatigue, lightheadedness, or syncope. Because the severity of the symptoms does not always go along with the severity of the disease, the evaluation must be sufficient.
How Arrhythmias Are Diagnosed and Treated
Dr. Radwaner utilizes state-of-the-art technology such as EKGs, Holter monitors, and cardiac imaging to assess heart rhythm and function. Treatment may be in the form of medication to control the heartbeat, lifestyle changes, or anticoagulants to prevent stroke. Referral for specialized procedures, such as catheter ablation, can be made in some cases. Always, the goal is to reduce risk and promote overall heart health with personalized care.
When to Seek Expert Evaluation
If you experience irregular heartbeats, breathlessness, pain in the chest, or extreme tiredness, it is important that you receive a cardiology evaluation. Arrhythmia can be diagnosed in its early stages so that no more complications like stroke or cardiac failure occur. Dr. Radwaner takes the time to listen to your history and symptoms and gives expert advice and suggestions based on your specific requirements.
