What Is Atrial Fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common heart condition that causes fast or irregular heartbeat. It is a type of arrhythmia that can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, stroke and blood clots. Although this disease does not always present with noticeable symptoms, some warning signs include:

• Heart palpitations
• Tiredness or fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Persistent coughing
• Swelling in the legs
• High blood pressure

If you notice any of these symptoms, the best course of action is to seek professional help. At our practice, we provide comprehensive treatment for atrial fibrillation and other forms of arrhythmia.

What Are The Treatment Measures For Atrial Fibrillation

Our clinic provides a wide range of treatments for atrial fibrillation that help improve your heart health. The type of treatment depends on the severity of your condition. Some conservative options include:

• Medications: We can prescribe anti-arrhythmic drugs to correct your heart rhythm, anticoagulants to prevent the formation of blood clots, and beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers to slow down your heart rate.
• Electrical cardioversion: We use a device to deliver a controlled electric shock to your chest that resets your heart rhythm. It is a quick and painless procedure that is done under sedation.
• Catheter ablation: In this process, we insert a small catheter through a blood vessel and guide it to your heart. Through this, we deliver radiofrequency energy or cold temperatures to destroy the abnormal tissue that causes AFib.
