Is there any way of distinguishing between ventricular and atrial fibrillation from the symptoms? The holter does not catch the arrhythmia due to sporadic episodes.
s important to realize that pacemakers are not an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation, but many patients with atrial fibrillation have a pacemaker to allow your doctor to put you on medications. It also will also not treat your PVC's.
For some insight, Atrial Fibrillation induces an abnormal heart rhythm (irregular, slow, fast, skipped beats) and can affect almost anyone. Although it is linked to several cardiac conditions, Artial Fibrillation can also occur in otherwise normal hearts. The risk of Atrial Fibrillation increases significantly with age.
My dad have a really enlarged left atrium (after decades of hypertension) which puts him a risk group for atrial fibrillation. He never had atrial fibrillation yet (except post-op bypass, almost everyone in that setting get atrial fibrillation for a couple of days). He is not very worried about atrial fibrillation.
PACs may set off short runs of atrial fibrillation in rare cases but for the arrhythmia to be sustained, changes must have been made to the left atrium.
There are many thousands of causes for this symptoms, one of which (by no means tha most common) is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a disorganized chaotic activity in the atrial tissues, and is significant because if untreated can lead to strokes. Only an EKG during an event, or more likely an event recorder can tell if atrial fibrillation is causing one's palpitations.
one being what is the best drug for HCM and the second being the intake of the carvedilol which is definately considered to be in the lower stages of beta blocker potency and considered a level one on a scale up to four.
I'm trying Dr. Rath's vitamins for cellular health to control atrial fibrillation along with Mega CoQ10. Could this combination possibly stop my episodes of a-fib? My doctor has mentioned rythmol and sotolol but I'd prefer something natural without side effects. Please comment.

"People with atrial fibrillation may need a pacemaker for a variety of reasons. These reasons include:
You have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes. And you have a fast heart rate when you are in atrial fibrillation and a slow heart rate when you are not in atrial fibrillation. This is called tachy-brady syndrome.
You had an AV node ablation procedure that destroyed the AV node in your heart.
Mayo Clinic provides the following information and is one of a few medical centers in the United States that performs the maze procedure, a highly complex surgical treatment option for atrial fibrillation. Mayo Clinic heart surgeons are highly skilled and have years of experience with this technique.
The maze procedure can cure atrial fibrillation by creating barriers to the electrical pathways, in the form of scar tissue, in the atria (the heart's upper chambers).
Hi, NSAIDs are known to increase the risk for atrial fibrillation. Your episodes of A fib could be related to NSAID usage. According to studies done, use of non-aspirin NSAIDs was associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter. Compared with non-users, the association was strongest for new users, with a 40-70% increase in relative risk (lowest for non-selective NSAIDs and highest for COX 2 inhibitors).
re having some trouble with your atrial fibrillation. If you have intermittent atrial fibrillation and your heart rate and blood pressure are normal, you don't need to rush to the ED. The '48 hours' people discuss is the window period that is often used to determine whether a patient can safely be "cardioverted" or knocked into a normal rhythm, either with drugs or with an electric shock.
Is it possible to have both atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter? I am on the drug flecainide and wonder if this is safe.
An enlarged atrium may be the cause of your atrial fibrillation, but LAE may also develop or be worsened by atrial fibrillation, so the cause-and-effect isn't always clear. PACs may also increase due to atrial enlargement.
The hypokinesis has probably nothing to do with your PACs. Different parts of the heart. Your overall EF is good though, so it seems like your pumping function is maintained.
My brother, in his 50's, had atrial fibrillation and bowel problems. He went on a gluten free diet and the atrial fibrillation stopped and his bowels are now perfect and he feels better than ever. Look it up on the internet - give it a try! You'll need to supplement with vitamins (gluten free ones). Just a thought!
Anxiety can is caused by atrial fibrillation and sometimes people that are anxious at baseline become more anxious with atrial fibrillation. Medications like ativan can work for the short term but are not good long term answers because ativan can be quite addictive. Too much ativan can make you very sleepy -- I wonder if that is why he feels out of it.
A cardioversion is an electrical shock given while the patient is sedated to convert them from atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm.
probably medication is the go for you. my mother has atrial fibrillation and she takes atenol and it works excellent. doesn't control the rhythm, but controls the speed and her high blood pressure well.
