Dabigatran may be a safe, effective and convenient substitute for Coumadin in patients with atrial fibrillation
Dronedarone is an investigational drug being studied for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. It is closely related to amiodarone.
Even small amounts of alcohol ingestion can lead to episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the condition known as Holiday Heart
antiarrhythmic drugs such as propafenone, flecainide, sotalol, amiodarone and dofetilide can be difficult and dangerous to use in the treatment of atrial fibrilation
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is atrial fibrillation that comes and goes, starting and stopping suddenly
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders, especially among older adults. Learn how it develops, and how its treated, from an expert electrophysiologist.
The best approach to treating atrial fibrillation depends on several factors, including the frequency and duration of the arrhythmia, and the patient's symptoms.
Atrial fibrillation can be treated by using medications to control the heart rate, and coumadin to reduce the risk of blood clots.
In atrial fibrillation, restoring and maintaining a normal heart rhythm is both difficult and potentially risky, but sometimes an effective treatment.
There are two basic approaches to the treatment of atrial fibrillation -- controlling the heart rate, or restoring a normal rhythm.
Diagnosing atrial fibrillation requires that a doctor record the arrhythmia on an electrocardiogram or event monitor.
Atrial fibrillation can be caused by underlying heart disease, thyroid disease, lung disease, drugs and other ingested substances, or can have no clear cause.
