There are a variety of options available to treat AFib. The treatment you and your doctor choose depends on many factors, including whether you have other problems with your heart and if you’re able to take medications to control your heart rhythm.
Generally, the goals for treating AFib are to:
If your symptoms are bothersome, your doctor may attempt to reset your heart’s rhythm. This can be accomplished through the use of medications called anti-arrhythmics and/or through a procedure called electrical cardioversion.
If your AFib is caused by an anatomical defect of the heart system, you may require treatment through a medical procedure. The Orlando Health Heart and Vascular Institute offers the most up-to-date technology and procedures available for safe, effective treatment of AFib.
