Atrial Fibrillation is a particular type of heart arrhythmia which can have dangerous consequences to your health if left untreated. People with atrial fibrillation, commonly referred to as Afib, are more prone to blot clots, which can lead to heart attack, stroke or even death.
Fortunately, there are a number of effective treatments available for atrial fibrillation, including several recently approved medications, medical devices, and surgical intervention.
The authors discuss atrial fibrillation: what it is, what causes it, and who is likely to suffer from it. They then review how it is diagnosed, and offer detailed atrial fibrillation treatment information, to help you work with your doctor for the best outcome.
In addition, this special report also discusses the implications of high blood pressure being present in conjunction with atrial fibrillation. They also highlight the reasons why sleep apnea can be so dangerous for anyone, but particularly in reference to a person with atrial fibrillation.
Handy appendices at the back of the book offer the latest news on atrial fibrillation, signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke, and where to get help for your high blood pressure, weight loss and stop smoking issues if you suffer from atrial fibrillation and want to improve your health.
This comprehensive and up-to-date 4th edition offers essential information on atrial fibrillation and the latest medications that have been approved or are in the pipeline, medical devices, lifestyle measures and more, to help you take charge of your health today.
