Why request a visit to the Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats) & Syncope Unit?
Irregular heartbeats can range from being asymptomatic to being disturbing and reaching to be life-threatening. Atrial fibrillation, among the most notorious arrhythmias, is a cause of strokes. Not infrequently the correct diagnosis of irregular heartbeats is missed by non-cardiac electrophysiology specialists. This denies the patients the opportunity to better learn about their condition and delays the initiation of appropriate treatment that can prevent serious problems such as stroke.
On the other hand, syncope is a result of many possible conditions. Cardiac conditions and neurologic conditions account for most cases of syncope. Discerning which medical condition is leading to syncope is paramount to determining the correct course of action. Recognizing the importance of the above, the Arrhythmia & Syncope Unit at Aman Hospital provides comprehensive care by a multidisciplinary team of experts. This team studies the electrical and structural components of the heart, vascular system, and brain providing the patient with the highest standards of care.
