If your doctor suspects that you may have an arrhythmia, or an irregular heartbeat, you are not alone. More than five million people in the U.S. currently suffer from abnormal heart rhythms.

What is an arrhythmia?
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. Arrhythmias come in many forms -- heartbeats that are too fast, too slow or too irregular. Sometimes an arrhythmia may feel like a flutter or even a quiver. Learn more about the causes and symptoms.

At the Arrhythmia Center at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, we want to help you understand everything there is to know about arrhythmias, especially finding the right treatment just for you. Our goal is to keep you and your heart healthy. We understand this can be a frightening time.

Arrhythmia Center Testing and Treatment
Our Arrhythmia Center is unique. The center has been created to offer a comprehensive approach, which means we that offer every type of heart diagnostic testing and arrhythmia treatment, including a robotic system that can safely treat and sometimes cure types of arrhythmia without open-heart surgery. Missouri Baptist is one of two area hospitals to offer this advanced system and is experienced in its use.

Electrophysiology Team
Our specialists are highly trained and hospital-based, which means our doctors are here every day for you and your doctor. It’s also good to know that our doctors, cardiac electrophysiologists, often work with other heart doctors – cardiologists, heart surgeons and interventional cardiologists -- to care for every type of cardiac condition.
