Ventricular Arrhythmias
At NYU Langone’s Heart Rhythm Center, specialists work together to determine the best treatment for ventricular arrhythmias, which are rapid heart rhythms that originate in the heart’s lower chambers, or ventricles. Because some types of ventricular arrhythmias can be life-threatening, our experts work as quickly as possible to provide proper treatment.
Our world-renowned heart specialists—including heart rhythm experts known as electrophysiologists, as well as cardiologists, heart surgeons, and cardiac device management doctors—provide personalized care for people with heart rhythm disorders. We are pioneers in treatments for arrhythmias, and our experts treat more than 4,500 people each year.
