Living with Atrial Fibrillation: Finding Your Rhythm

Dr. Bilal Saqi Discusses Some of the Advanced Treatments for AFib

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can feel like your heart is playing a chaotic drum solo instead of a steady beat. This irregular heartbeat can increase your risk of stroke, but you do not have to live off beat. There are many treatments for AFib available:

  • Blood Thinners: Blood thinners are a common medication prescribed for atrial fibrillation patients. They help to prevent blood clots from forming in the heart.
  • Watchman Device: A small device that is inserted into the left upper chamber of the heart that has the most risk of forming clots. This is an option for patients who cannot take blood thinners.

  • Tailored Treatment Options: The best treatment for you will depend on your individual circumstances. Some people may experience debilitating symptoms from atrial fibrillation, while others may have mild symptoms.

These treatments can help get your heart back into a steady beat and make a significant difference in quality of life. To learn more about atrial fibrillation treatment options, please visit chistvincent.com.
