Obesity & Your Heart's Rhythm ❤️🌍
Arrhythmia is an irregular heart rhythm that can disrupt your heart's ability to function properly. Excess weight puts additional strain on your heart and can lead to high blood pressure and sleep apnea, both of which contribute to arrhythmias. Managing your weight is a crucial step in reducing your risk.

At Summit Bariatrics, we prescribe safe and effective medications that can assist in weight loss. We also have surgical options, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, which can lead to significant and sustained weight loss.

If you're concerned about your weight and heart health, schedule an appointment with us to determine the best treatment plan for you.
