Learn to spot the difference and save a life

Could a heart rhythm problem be causing your symptoms?

Heart rhythm problems don't always feel the same. Some people notice symptoms every day, while others only notice them occasionally. 

Common symptoms include:

  • Heart palpitations or fluttering
  • A racing heartbeat
  • A heartbeat that feels too slow
  • Skipped or irregular heartbeats
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Fainting or near-fainting
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Chest discomfort
  • Trouble keeping up with normal activities 

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, our team can help determine what's causing them and recommend the right treatment.

Conditions we treat

Our specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of heart rhythm conditions:

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)

AFib is the most common heart rhythm disorder. It happens when the upper chambers of the heart beat out of sync. AFib can cause symptoms like a racing heartbeat, tiredness, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of stroke. 

Tachycardia

Tachycardia is a heartbeat that is faster than normal. It can cause palpitations, dizziness, or a feeling that your heart is pounding.

Bradycardia

Bradycardia is a heartbeat that is slower than normal. Some people experience fatigue, lightheadedness, or fainting.

Atrial Flutter

A heart rhythm disorder that causes the heart's upper chambers to beat too quickly.

Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)

SVT can cause sudden episodes of a very fast heartbeat that may come and go.

Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)

A more serious rhythm disorder that starts in the lower chambers of the heart and often requires specialized care.

Heart Murmurs and Related Heart Conditions

Some heart murmurs are harmless, while others may be linked to underlying heart valve problems. Our team can help determine if additional testing is needed.

Advanced treatments for heart rhythm disorders

Treatment depends on your symptoms, condition, and overall health. Our specialists work with you to create a care plan that fits your needs.

Cardiac Ablation

Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that treats the small area of heart tissue causing abnormal heart rhythms.

For many patients, ablation can reduce symptoms, improve quality of life, and help restore a more normal heartbeat. Our team performs ablation procedures for AFib, atrial flutter, SVT, ventricular tachycardia, and other rhythm disorders.

Cardioversion Therapy

Cardioversion is a treatment that helps restore a normal heart rhythm in people with conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter. During the procedure, a controlled electrical impulse is used to reset the heart's rhythm.

Cardioversion is often performed as an outpatient procedure and may help reduce symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Pacemakers and Other Heart Devices

Some heart rhythm problems can be treated with a small device placed under the skin.

We offer:

  • Pacemakers
  • Leadless pacemakers
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
  • Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)
  • Heart rhythm monitoring devices

These devices help regulate your heartbeat and protect against dangerous heart rhythms.

Advanced Care for Complex Cases

Intermountain Medical Center offers some of the most advanced heart rhythm treatments available, including:

  • Advanced ablation technologies
  • Treatment for complex ventricular tachycardia
  • Device and lead extraction procedures
  • Left atrial appendage closure for select patients with AFib
  • Specialized care for patients with difficult-to-treat rhythm disorders

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our heart rhythm clinic.

Common signs of a heart rhythm problem include a racing heartbeat, skipped beats, fluttering in the chest, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, or fainting. Some people have no symptoms at all. If you notice changes in your heartbeat, a heart rhythm specialist can help determine the cause.
You may benefit from seeing a heart rhythm specialist if you have ongoing heart palpitations, an irregular heartbeat, atrial fibrillation (AFib), unexplained dizziness, fainting, or a heart rhythm condition that has not improved with treatment. Early evaluation can help identify the best treatment options.
Atrial fibrillation, often called AFib, is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder. It happens when the upper chambers of the heart beat out of sync. AFib can cause symptoms such as a racing heartbeat, fatigue, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of stroke if left untreated.
Heart palpitations can be caused by many factors, including stress, caffeine, certain medications, heart disease, or a heart rhythm disorder. In some cases, palpitations are harmless. In others, they may be a sign of a condition that needs medical attention.
Treatment depends on the type of heart rhythm disorder and your symptoms. Options may include lifestyle changes, medication, cardiac ablation, pacemakers, implantable devices, or other advanced treatments. Your care team will recommend the treatment plan that is right for you.
Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms. During the procedure, a specialist targets the small area of heart tissue causing the problem. Ablation can help many people reduce symptoms and restore a more normal heartbeat.
Yes. A pacemaker is a small device that helps regulate a heartbeat that is too slow or irregular. Pacemakers can relieve symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and fainting while helping the heart maintain a healthy rhythm.
