Because many of these atrial arrhythmias have potential long term consequences such as tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy as well as the development of chronic atrial fibrillation from other atrial tachyarrhythmias, appropriate treatment is very important and has become increasingly comples.
Many therapeutic options are now available, many of which are curative.
Conventional drug therapy, particularly for atrial fibrillation, may not be optimal in all patients. The Atrial Arrhythmia Clinic at Indiana University Medical Center's Krannert Institute of Cardiology is a resource for physicians and their patients. The Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic that provides consultative services as well as comprehensive care of patients with atrial arrhythmias. As a leader in arrhythmia research, the Krannert Institute of Cardiology at Indiana University Medical Center is committed to discovering novel approaches to treating atrial fibrillation and other atrial arrhythmias. The Krannert Institute of Cardiology has also been a leader in caring for patients with complex arrhythmias for over 25 years.
