When is a racing, fluttering or pounding heartbeat more than just a passing sensation?

Heart palpitations are common and often harmless, but sometimes they can be a sign of an abnormal heart rhythm or another condition that needs medical attention.

September is AFib Awareness Month, an important opportunity to learn the signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common type of irregular heartbeat. Knowing what’s normal for you — and recognizing symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored — can help you know when it’s time to seek care.

During Afib Awareness Month, take time to learn how everyday habits can support your heart health.

Atrial fibrillation, or Afib, is connected with heart-related conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and heart attack. Building heart-healthy habits can help reduce risk.

Lifestyle steps include talking with your doctor about sleep apnea, making healthy food choices and finding ways to manage stress. Small steps — like getting enough sleep, choosing fiber-rich foods and practicing breathing exercises — can support your overall well-being.

Have you ever felt like your heart was racing, fluttering or skipping a beat? These sensations, known as heart palpitations, are common and can happen for many reasons — from stress and caffeine to changes in your heart’s rhythm.

September is AFib Awareness Month, making it a good time to learn more about your heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is one type of abnormal heart rhythm that can cause a racing, fluttering or irregular heartbeat.

While occasional palpitations aren’t always a cause for concern, knowing what may be behind them — and when to talk to a doctor — can help you take a more active role in your heart health.

When your heart suddenly starts racing, expert heart rhythm care can make all the difference.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an arrhythmia that begins in the upper chambers of the heart and can cause a heart rate around 200 beats per minute, along with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and light-headedness.

During AFib Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the breadth of advanced arrhythmia care available at Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute. Our expert cardiac electrophysiologists specialize in treating challenging SVTs and use advanced electrophysiology procedures to pinpoint the source of an abnormal rhythm and treat it with catheter ablation.

Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute is also advancing the field through research, including a hybrid ablation approach for inappropriate sinus tachycardia designed to improve outcomes and reduce complications.

September is AFib Awareness Month, a reminder to pay attention to what your heart may be telling you.

A racing or pounding heartbeat can have many possible causes. For some people, especially when symptoms occur after standing up, it may be related to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition that affects how the body responds to changes in position.

Understanding your symptoms and knowing when to seek care can help you have more informed conversations with your doctor. Learn about common signs of POTS, how it’s diagnosed and self-care strategies that may help manage symptoms: https://bit.ly/3SlumkY

❤️ Have you ever felt your heart racing, fluttering or beating out of rhythm? It could be a sign of atrial fibrillation, or AFib — the most common type of heart rhythm disorder. According to the American Heart Association, AFib affects approximately 5 million Americans.

AFib can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other serious health concerns if left untreated. The good news: Treatment is available, and finding AFib early can help you protect your long-term heart health.

If you’re noticing symptoms, talk to your doctor or schedule an appointment with one of our heart experts: https://bit.ly/3T20dHw

Together with the American Heart Association, our broader HCA Healthcare network is raising awareness about AFib. Visit the My AFib Experience® website for resources and support: https://bit.ly/4xldeKB

When you or a loved one needs emergency care, your closest option may be a freestanding emergency room (FSER).

An FSER provides 24/7 emergency care similar to a hospital emergency room, but it’s located separately from a hospital campus. Offering convenient access to emergency care, FSERs can help you get the care you need close to where you are.

In this video, Dr. Brad Hoover, an emergency physician with HCA Healthcare, explains what to expect during a visit — from check-in and evaluation to treatment — and how, if you need hospital-based care, our connected network can help coordinate the next step.

Each year, approximately 10 million patients receive emergency care across our broader HCA Healthcare network. Every visit is different, but our goal is always the same: to help you get the care you need when it matters most.
