What is a Heart Rhythm Center and how does it benefit patients?

The Heart Rhythm Center at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Dallas offers patients a collaborative, multidisciplinary focus to address heart arrhythmias.

Our expert healthcare team consists of specially trained cardiologists, called electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons and advanced practice providers passionate about treating patients with rhythm disturbances.

The center is dedicated to helping patients with heart arrhythmias effectively manage their condition through diagnosis, education, treatment options and post-discharge care.

We realize each patient's heart arrhythmia case is unique, and therapy will be tailored according to each patient’s needs. Specialized medications, implanted devices, catheter-based procedures and surgical options are available and may be used in combination at our heart hospital in Dallas.
