Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the heart’s upper chambers, called atria, beat irregularly and often rapidly. This disrupts normal blood flow and can cause symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. More importantly, AFib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other serious complications, making early diagnosis and management essential.
Heartwise Cardiology provides comprehensive evaluation and care for atrial fibrillation. Their experienced, board-certified cardiologists use advanced diagnostic tools such as electrocardiograms (EKGs), Holter monitoring, echocardiograms, and implantable loop recorders. These technologies help capture irregular rhythms, even when they occur sporadically, ensuring patients receive an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Treatment for AFib is highly individualized and depends on the patient’s symptoms, health history, and overall risk factors. At Heartwise Cardiology, treatment options may include:
Medications: Drugs to control heart rate and rhythm, along with anticoagulants to lower the risk of stroke.
Cardioversion: A non-surgical procedure using controlled electrical impulses to restore normal heart rhythm.
Catheter Ablation: A minimally invasive option that targets and removes abnormal heart tissue responsible for AFib.
Devices and Surgery: In certain cases, pacemakers or defibrillators may be recommended to help regulate heart rhythm.
By offering these diverse treatment options, Heartwise Cardiology ensures that every patient receives the most effective and personalized care.
Successful management of atrial fibrillation goes beyond immediate treatment. Preventive strategies are essential to reduce recurrence and improve long-term outcomes. At Heartwise Cardiology, care often includes addressing conditions that contribute to AFib, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. Lifestyle modifications, regular monitoring, and ongoing follow-ups play a vital role in maintaining heart health and reducing complications.
