Irregular Heartbeat Doctor in Sugar Land & Katy, TX

Advanced Cardiology – Expert Care for Arrhythmias and Heart Rhythm Disorders

An irregular heartbeat—also known as an arrhythmia—can be alarming and potentially serious. Whether you experience occasional palpitations or constant heart rhythm issues, getting evaluated by a cardiologist is essential.
At Advanced Cardiology, Dr. Adnan Khalid and our team specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of irregular heart rhythms with advanced technology and compassionate care.

Understanding Irregular Heartbeats (Arrhythmias)

An irregular heartbeat happens when the electrical signals that control your heartbeat don’t work properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow, or unevenly.

Some irregular heartbeats are harmless, but others can increase your risk of serious conditions such as:

• Stroke

• Heart failure

• Blood clots

• Sudden cardiac arrest

Types of arrhythmias we treat:

• Atrial fibrillation (AFib)

• Atrial flutter

• Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)

• Ventricular tachycardia

• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)

• Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)

Common Symptoms of an Irregular Heartbeat

Some arrhythmias cause obvious symptoms, while others are silent.
If you notice any of the following signs, you should schedule an evaluation:

• Rapid heartbeat or pounding in your chest

• Fluttering sensation or skipped beats

• Shortness of breath

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Chest discomfort or pain

• Extreme fatigue or weakness

• Fainting or near-fainting spells

Important: If your symptoms are severe or sudden, call 911 or seek emergency care immediately.

Our Approach to Diagnosing Irregular Heartbeats

At Advanced Cardiology, we take a comprehensive, patient-focused approach to identify and treat arrhythmias effectively.

1. Thorough Medical History & Consultation

We start by listening to your symptoms and medical background to guide our evaluation.

2. Advanced Diagnostic Testing

• Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG): Measures electrical activity of the heart

• Holter monitor: 24-48 hour continuous heart rhythm recording

• Event monitor: Longer-term tracking for intermittent episodes

• Echocardiogram: Ultrasound imaging of the heart

• Stress test: Assesses how your heart functions under physical exertion

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

Depending on your diagnosis, we may recommend:

• Lifestyle changes and risk factor management

• Medications to regulate heart rhythm or prevent clots

• Electrical cardioversion (resetting the heart rhythm)

• Implantable devices like pacemakers or defibrillators

• Minimally invasive catheter procedures such as ablation

When Should You Consider a Venous Ultrasound?

If you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, or visible varicose veins, a venous ultrasound can help pinpoint the issue and prevent more serious conditions. You should consider getting a venous ultrasound if:

• You have persistent leg swelling, especially on one side

• You experience unexplained leg pain, heaviness, or fatigue

• You see bulging varicose veins or spider veins

• You’ve had a previous blood clot or are at risk for DVT

• You’re being evaluated for vein treatment or surgery
