Business Description
Atrial Fibrillation is one of the most common issues associated with an irregular heartbeat. The basic cause of such an irregularity is generally an impediment or damage, within the heart’s electrical signal system, where the two upper chambers, known as the atria, contract and pump blood much faster than usual. As a result, the contractions become out-of-sync from the remaining chambers – the vastly increased speed causes the walls of the heart to “quiver”.When treating Atrial Fibrillation your doctor will generally seek the most non-invasive means of treatment, and occasional this issue can be left untreated. However, if and when symptoms persist, or worsen there are a number of different treatment options available – highly dependent upon the symptoms presented and their severity.
There are also some more invasive surgical options, however those are generally for patients with the most severe instances of Atrial Fibrillation. If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms or have a history of heart disease in the family, contact us today.
