Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a condition of the heart where faulty electrical signals cause it to flutter or beat too fast. It raises your chances of a stroke and other heart problems. If your doctor diagnoses you with AFib, they may suggest lifestyle changes like changes to your diet ...
Direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is an established strategy to achieve rhythm control among patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib).1 To mitigate the risk of cerebrovascular complications associated with DCCV, the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Rhythm Society Afib ...
Irregular heartbeat, known asatrial fibrillation(AFib), which is caused by damage to the heart valves and other parts of your heart Takeaways Rheumatic fever is a rare but serious bacterial illness that can result from untreated strep throat or scarlet fever. You'll usually get symptoms 2-4 ...
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm caused by erratic electrical signals in the heart. A normal heart rhythm creates regular electrical signals that are essential for the heart to beat in a steady, rhythmic way to pump blood to all parts of the body. Sometimes these electric...

What is the coronary artery bypass graft procedure? What is mild coronary artery calcification? What is moderate coronary artery calcification? Is coronary artery disease reversible? Is AFib a coronary artery disease? What medication is used for peripheral artery disease?
“An ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that we perform in the catheterization laboratory,” Dr. Lakshmanadoss explains. “We use heat or cold to burn or freeze the areas of heart tissue that cause AFib. With proper and timely treatment, patients can see their energy levels restored.”...
This is not pessimism; it is reality. Despite an increase in the number of treatment recommendations over the span of 14 years, the number of guideline recommendations for the management of AF with an A level of evidence has not significantly increased (8.4% in 2001 vs 8.8% in 2014;P= ...
AFib and Stroke Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for stroke. About 15 percent of all people who have strokes have AFib. Because of the irregular and chaotic flow of blood through the heart, small blood clots can form in the heart chambers when you have atrial fibrillation. These clots ...
For macro-reentry, ablation would aim to bisect circus movement (the primary mechanism). In AF, therapy also targets the primary mechanism — but in this case, it is the rotor core. In the CONFIRM trial, 2.1 ± 1.0 sources were observed per patient, with typical total FI...
