About Rhythm Doctor

Through our many contacts with people with heart rhythm disorders and their relatives, we know that it is often hard to find information about the conditions. This can lead to a significant amount of uncertainty and anxiety associated with heart problems. 

That’s why we started the blog “Rhythm Doctor” more than 10 years ago. So that all patients, relatives and other interested parties can have a place where problems with heart rhythm disorders can be addressed in an easily accessible – yet thorough – way. In addition we want patients, relatives and other interested parties to have the opportunity to ask relevant questions and suggest topics that can be addressed on the blog.

As a physician, we have always been interested in heart diseases. For the past 30 years, we have focused on the causes and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. In particular, atrial fibrillation, which is by far the most common cause of disturbed heart rhythm.

All three of us work on a daily basis at Privathospitalet Mølholm in Vejle, Denmark, as head of HjerteCenter Mølholm. We examine and treat more than 1,000 people with atrial fibrillation every year. We have specialized in ablation treatment and have performed more than 15,000 of these procedures  over the past 25 years.

Of course, this means that we are intimately familiar with the challenges that patients face when diagnosed with heart rhythm disorders, and the best treatments to overcome them. The first step? Getting a proper overview of your available options, and that’s where our blog comes in. 

We want to invite you to join our community, share your insights, and together we can build the ultimate resources for people suffering from heart rhythm disorders.
