How Is Atrial Fibrillation Treated?
Atrial fibrillation is often caused by high blood pressure, heart disease, or other conditions that affect the heart's structure. At AZ Cardiology, common diagnostic tests, such as EKGs, echocardiograms, and stress tests, are used to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options for AFib may include medications to control the heart rate or rhythm, lifestyle changes, and procedures like cardioversion or ablation. Our practice is dedicated to providing each patient with customized care tailored to their unique needs and health goals.
