Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute (KCHRI)
A racing heart, a skipped beat, a flutter in your chest — these can be a sign of an abnormal heart rhythm. If your primary care doctor detects a heart murmur or you’ve been experiencing symptoms of a heart rhythm disorder, you may need to see a cardiologist specializing in electrophysiology (EP) for testing and diagnosis.
The Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute at the HCA Midwest Health Heart and Vascular Institute brings the highest quality clinical care, research and arrhythmia education to Kansas City. We offer:
- Easy access to world-class heart care – We offer advanced arrhythmia care at multiple clinic and hospital locations around Kansas City so you never have to travel far for the care you need.
- A compassionate and patient-centered care philosophy – We don’t just treat the arrhythmia. We examine the whole person and devise a comprehensive treatment plan which can include yoga therapy or treatment for underlying issue like sleep apnea.
- Cutting-edge technology and care guided by the latest research resulting in the best possible outcomes
- A team approach – Our electrophysiologists collaborate with heart surgeons, interventional cardiologists, heart failure cardiologists and imaging cardiologist on your treatment plan to solve the most complex arrhythmias.
