Can pacemaker fix all cases of atrial fibrillations?

No: Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat of the upper chambers of the heart. Its greatest danger is the formation of bloodclots within the heart which can trravel up to the brain and cause a stroke. Patients with af are generally treated with anticoagulants or blood thinners like aspirin, warfarin (coumadin) or dabigatran (pradaxa) to prevent strokes and medication to control the heart rate.

No: A pacemaker can not fix atrial fibrillation(adib). Pacemakers can help suppress afib in conjunction with medication but can not cure you of it. There are various options for treatment such as medications, cardiac ablations and surgical ablations. Your doctor can discuss all options with you and determine which is the best suited for you. He/she may refer you to an electrophysiologist for more info.

Unfortunately not: Pacemaker (ppm) are used to treat a slow heart rate. Most patient with atrial fibrillation (afib) have a fast heart rate. Sometimes a ppm in combination with an av node ablation is used to control heart rate but the patient is left in afib. There are other types of ablation available to cure afib.
