What happens in the heart to cause an arrhythmia?

First, one common misconception regarding heart arrhythmias is that they’re always a result of unhealthy activity or an unclean lifestyle – this is a false assumption! There are many causes and varying types of heart arrhythmias, and many healthy people have irregular heart rhythms.
Heart arrhythmias could be caused by many different factors: a sustaining injury from a heart attack, the wrong balance of electrolytes in your blood, or changes in your heart muscle are all possible causes.

As a new patient my visit with Dr. Kruger was professional and very informative. He answered all my questions with interest and care. I felt safe and would absolutely recommend him to my family and friends. After my initial visit with Dr. Kruger I had blood drawn by one of the most gentle and caring technicians I've had the pleasure of meeting (a rare occurrence in that field). I have small veins that are often difficult to find; this young lady found them within a heartbeat and had such patience that I will be bringing my son, who is autistic, to her whenever he needs blood drawn... and after some of the traumatic experiences he's had, I am sure he will appreciate her too!

I always feel confident with Dr Joseph. He’s been my cardiologist for at least 8 years. Always personable and professional. I trust his advice and recommendations. He takes time to answer any concerns I have. So far so good!
