Millions of Americans have heart rhythm disorders, or arrhythmias. An arrhythmia is caused when the heart’s electrical impulses are not working properly and cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly. Arrhythmias are treated through managing lifestyle habits, medication, devices, procedures or surgery.

In recent years, new advances in heart rhythm management have emerged. These include non-medication approaches to heart rhythm management, new devices to help regulate the beating of the heart and smaller and leadless pacemakers.

On this episode of the Hurley in the Morning radio show, Raffaele Corbisiero, MD discusses the future of heart rhythm management. Dr. Corbisiero shares many options and advances for treating arrhythmias, including the WiSE^® System. Deborah Heart and Lung Center performed its first commercial implant of the WiSE^® System, making it the first hospital in Southern New Jersey to offer this groundbreaking treatment for heart failure patients who were previously considered untreatable with traditional cardio-resynchronization devices.
