“How do you fix a heart arrhythmia?”

You can treat arrhythmias with medications and/or procedures. But the treatment choice depends on the specific arrhythmia.
Thanks.

It depends on the location of the arrhythmia. Options include medicines (beta blockers and anti-Arrhythmic drugs) and ablation. Usually overseen by an electrophysiologist.

Depending on the type of arrhythmia, correction may be achieved with medication and or with a procedure.

It depends on the specific heart arrhythmia. Most can be controlled with medications. For the ones that are not well controlled with medications, or instead of using medications after discussing the alternative with your doctor, catheter based procedures called ablations can be quite effective at correcting the arrhythmia. For unique arrhythmias that are unpredictable
or otherwise not well addressed by the first two options, devices like pacemakers and defibrillators are the next best options. Please talk to your doctor to decide what is best for you.
