Feeling short of breath“There are many advances that are continuously adding to our available tools to treat atrial fibrillation and its associated stroke risk,” saida professor of medicine and director of the atrial fibrillation program at the University of Washington in Seattle. “Catheter ablation remains the most effective therapy in reducing the burden of arrhythmia. Advances in mapping catheters, signal processing, and cardiac imaging help us identify targets for ablation.
The bottom line: If you have any symptoms that could mean you have AFib, seek medical help right away for a proper diagnosis. If you have AFib, ask your heart doctor about treatment options that are new or being modified to see what solutions could be right for you. Controlling AFib is easier than ever, so be proactive to live a healthier, happier life.Jorge E.
