September 28, 2025 -Throughout September, National Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Awareness Month has been drawing attention to a heart condition that affects millions nationwide. AFib is the most common form of irregular heartbeat and can lead to serious health risks like stroke and heart failure if not properly managed.
Recognizing AFib Symptoms:
- Irregular or rapid heartbeat
- Chest discomfort
- Fatigue or low energy
- Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
- Difficulty breathing
Because symptoms may be mild or develop slowly, ongoing monitoring and regular doctor visits play a key role in early diagnosis.
Current Treatment Approaches Include:
- Healthy lifestyle changes
- Medication to manage heart rhythm or rate
- Electrical cardioversion to restore normal rhythm
- Ablation procedures to correct abnormal heart signals
- FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation — a non-thermal, advanced treatment available at select hospitals
Understanding the warning signs and exploring treatment options are key steps in protecting heart health and reducing complications linked to AFib.
