Atrial fibrillation treatment may involve: Medications. Therapy to reset the heart rhythm (cardioversion) Surgery or catheter procedures.
Read moreCan atrial fibrillation go away?
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is one of the types that starts suddenly and goes away own on its own . However, patients should still be monitored and treated. Usually, atrial fibrillation is permanent, and medicines or other nonsurgical treatments can’t restore a completely normal heart rhythm.
Read moreWhat is atrial fibrillation on ECG?
Atrial fibrillation is a condition that disrupts your heartbeat . A glitch in the heart’s electrical system makes its upper chambers (the atria) beat so fast they quiver, or fibrillate. This causes the lower chambers (the ventricles) to beat out of sync.2 Kas 2021
Read moreHow can you tell if you have atrial fibrillation on ECG?
Diagnosis – Atrial Fibrillation. The diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is confirmed with a standard 12-lead ECG. P waves are absent, coarse “fibrillatory waves” can frequently be seen and sometimes no atrial activity can be identified. The QRS complexes are “irregularly irregular”, with varying R-R intervals.
Read moreDoes catheter ablation cure atrial flutter?
“Based on our study findings, physicians and patients need to be educated that atrial flutter can be readily cured through catheter ablation , and the procedure may reduce the risk for atrial fibrillation.” Atrial flutter (AFL) is a common abnormal heart rhythm similar to atrial fibrillation (AF).1 Tem 2014

The ablated (or destroyed) areas of tissue inside your heart may take up to eight weeks to heal. You may still have arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) during the first few weeks after your ablation.
