Is there a cure for atrial fibrillation? diagnosed in 2004. taking medication to control it. still have flare-ups frequently.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes in some cases: Yes in some cases. The medical treatment can be focused on just keep your hear rate low or to try to convert you into normal rhythm. Cardio version is another treatment when you shock the patient under sedation. Procedure wise electro physiologists can do an ablation through the groin. Surgeons can do the ablation preferably minimally invasive through the side or a hybrid procedure - convergent.
