Some heart rhythm disorders may be treated by a cardiac surgeon, especially when coexisting heart problems require surgery. Our Heart Rhythm Center is the busiest university-based program in the Chicago area. We provide care for people with the most complex irregular heartbeats, consistently with excellent results.
