Can The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic Offer Second Opinions on All Treatment Plans for Cardiac Arrhythmias?
Yes. Our expert specialists can review and provide recommendations on a variety of treatment plans for cardiac arrhythmias and can also provide guidance on alternative treatment options. Common treatment plans for cardiac arrhythmias include:
- Medications to control the heart’s electrical impulses and prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
- Catheter ablation, a procedure that uses heat or cold energy to destroy tissue in the heart that causes abnormal rhythms.
- Implantable devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, which can help regulate your heart’s rhythm.
- Surgery to correct the underlying cause of the arrhythmia, such as repairing a heart valve or removing scar tissue from the heart.
No matter the type or severity of your cardiac arrhythmia, our experts can review your case and provide personalized recommendations for managing your condition.
