Why the walk-in clinic is the right choice for palpitations and heart palpitations
Sudden palpitations, heart palpitations or a fluttering heart often lead to uncertainty. The walk-in rhythmology clinic offers clear advantages here:
Time savings and immediate support
Patients do not have to wait for a regular appointment. Spontaneous presentation speeds up diagnosis and treatment considerably.
Directly available diagnostics for cardiac arrhythmias
Specialized rhythmologists are immediately available to clarify the cause of the symptoms. Depending on requirements, this may include an ECG, long-term ECG or a further electrophysiological examination.
Quick medical assessment and therapy proposal
After the diagnosis, a quick medical assessment is made: Is the palpitations due to a harmless cause? Is there an arrhythmia requiring treatment? Are further clarifications or therapies necessary?
Specialized rhythmological treatments on site
The clinic offers the entire spectrum of modern treatment procedures:
- Cardioversions
- Catheter ablation for various arrhythmias
- Implantation of pacemakers
- Implantation of defibrillators (ICD) and CRT devices
- Further rhythmological therapies according to the latest standards
Increased safety for acute complaints
In the event of acute problems, suitable treatment can be started immediately – without any loss of time and in an optimally equipped clinic.
When should you visit the walk-in clinic if you have palpitations or a racing heart?
The walk-in clinic is particularly suitable if:
- Heart stumbling or palpitations occur again
- the complaints keep coming back
- the heart beats irregularly or “stops”
- Wearables have detected a potential arrhythmia
- Accompanying symptoms such as dizziness, a feeling of weakness or a brief rapid pulse occur
Specialized care ensures that potential risks are identified and treated at an early stage.
