Dr. Buerkel is a Cardiac Electrophysiology specialist operating out of Petoskey, MI "Arrhythmia" means your heartbeat is irregular. It doesn't necessarily mean your heart is beating too fast or too slow. It just means it's out of its normal rhythm. For further information, please click the following: Link
