How can food affect atrial fibrillation?

Food can affect meds: Afib is a rythm that can be very fast and can cause a stroke from blod clots going to the brain. Many patients are on Coumadin (warfarin) a blood thinner that works through vitamin k. So if the patient eats green leafy veges and other foods high in vitamin k , it can reverse the Coumadin (warfarin) and make pt suseptable to stroke. Foods and items high in caffiene like coffee chocolate etc can stimulate the heart rate.

Usually doesn't: Atrial fibrillation can be aggravated by medications such as stimulants, decongestants, caffeine, alcohol. Daily nutrition usually does not affect rhythm.
