Focus on your heartbeat

Irregular heart rhythms, whether a dangerously fast heartbeat or a dangerously slow heartbeat, affect millions of people. Heart rhythm disorders happen for a variety of reasons—genetic conditions, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, valve disorders—and sometimes for no apparent reason at all.

To diagnose, manage, or prevent a heart-rhythm condition, it’s essential to know precisely where your heart function stands. At Corewell Health, our board-certified cardiologists and electrophysiologists monitor your heart’s electrical activity, rhythm, and other key metrics. Based on your results, we have an entire team of heart and vascular specialists to guide your care.

Conditions we treat

Atrial fibrillation (AFib)

A common condition in which the electrical impulses of the heart lose their regular pattern. The heart rhythm (pattern of heartbeat) becomes erratic, and often the heart beats too fast.

Bradycardia

A heart rate that is too slow, below 60 beats per minute at rest.

Cardiac arrhythmia 

This occurs when the heart’s regular electrical activity becomes erratic and the irregular impulses are spread throughout the upper and lower chambers of the heart.

Syncope

The temporary loss of consciousness, usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain.

Tachycardia

A heart rate that is too fast, over 100 beats per minute at rest.
