  2. How to transform heart care with advanced treatment for atrial fibrillation? • AFib, or atrial fibrillation, is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm, affecting over 3 million adults every day. It happens when your heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. Poor blood flow to the rest of your body can result from atrial fibrillation. • "The most common cardiac rhythm disorder is atrial fibrillation," says Dr RanjitJagtap, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Ram Mangal Heart Foundation. “Atrial Fibrillation can also increase your risk of developing blood clots, having a stroke, having heart failure, or having other problems. You are more likely to have a stroke if your heartbeat is out of sync because blood can pool in parts of your heart and form clots. These blood clots have the potential to travel to the brain, resulting in a stroke. Strokes caused by AFib are more severe and fatal.”

  3. What are risks of causing atrial fibrillation? • Some people can live with atrial fibrillation for years without experiencing any complications. However, atrial fibrillation can lead to further complications: • Because the atria are beating rapidly and irregularly, blood does not flow as quickly through them. This increases the likelihood of clotting. If your heart pump out a clot, it can travel to the brain and cause a stroke, or it can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. • According to Dr RanjitJagtap News, people with atrial fibrillation are 5 to 7 times more likely than the general population to have a stroke. Clots can also spread to other parts of the body (kidneys, heart, intestines) and cause additional damage. • Atrial fibrillation can impair the heart's ability to pump blood. The irregularity may cause the heart to work inefficiently. Furthermore, long-term atrial fibrillation can significantly weaken the heart and eventually lead to heart failure. • Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and even death.

  4. What is the treatment for atrial fibrillation? • Treatment for atrial fibrillation aims to restore a normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm), control heart rate, prevent blood clots, and lower the risk of stroke. • There are numerous treatment options for atrial fibrillation, including lifestyle changes, medications, catheter-based procedures, as well as surgery. Your heart rhythm and symptoms will determine the type of treatment that suits you. • According to new research, addressing weight, sleep apnea, and alcohol use can also help patients with AFib control their condition. In fact, studies show that if you are overweight or obese, the number of pounds you lose can influence how much your symptoms improve. The more weight you lose, the less likely you are to experience symptoms of atrial fibrillation. • Furthermore, learn more about atrial fibrillation and its treatment in younger patients with abnormal heart rhythms at Dr RanjitJagtap Clinic.
