The Arrhythmology Department at Caucasus Medical Center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, enabling advanced diagnosis and treatment of all types of heart rhythm disorders. Our facilities allow for the implantation of various anti-arrhythmic devices and the performance of radiofrequency and cryoablation procedures using cutting-edge 3D heart reconstruction technology.

The high-precision equipment used in our treatments ensures accurate identification of arrhythmogenic foci, pinpointing irregularities within 1-2 millimeters for the best possible outcomes. Our success is driven by a personalized approach to each patient, combined with the expertise of an experienced and highly skilled medical team.

Who Can Benefit from Arrhythmology Services?

Our department provides medical consultations for individuals experiencing:

Bradyarrhythmias – slow heart rhythms that may cause dizziness or fainting.
Tachyarrhythmias – rapid heart rhythms that can lead to palpitations and discomfort.

Diagnostic and Treatment Options

To accurately diagnose and treat arrhythmias, the following procedures are performed at the center:

Diagnostic Tests:

Electrocardiogram (ECG) – measures the heart’s electrical activity.
24-hour and 48-hour Holter monitoring (3-channel and 12-channel) – continuously records heart rhythm.
Electrophysiological studies – an in-depth assessment of electrical conduction in the heart.

Treatment Methods:

Implantation of single- and dual-chamber pacemakers for managing slow heart rhythms (bradycardia).
Implantation of single- and dual-chamber cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and CRT-defibrillators for patients with severe heart failure and electrical conduction disorders.
Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation – a procedure that eliminates arrhythmogenic foci with high precision.
Advanced 3D-guided radiofrequency ablation for complex arrhythmias, ensuring highly accurate treatment.
Balloon cryoablation for atrial fibrillation – a minimally invasive procedure that freezes abnormal heart tissue to restore normal rhythm.

Before any intervention, thorough preoperative evaluations are conducted to ensure the most effective, individualized treatment plan.

Recognizing Arrhythmia Symptoms

Common signs of arrhythmias include:

Irregular or skipped heartbeats
Slow or excessively fast heart rate
Dizziness or fainting episodes

It’s crucial to monitor these symptoms and their frequency. While occasional heart palpitations may not require medical attention, frequent or severe episodes should be evaluated by a specialist. Even a single episode of rapid heart rate can be a warning sign that needs investigation. If dizziness or fainting occurs, immediate medical attention is necessary.

Why Regular Screenings Matter

In some cases, arrhythmias may not cause noticeable symptoms, making routine screening essential—especially for men over 40 and postmenopausal women. Early detection allows for timely intervention, significantly improving treatment success and overall heart health.
