The causes of atrial fibrillation ranges from coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, heart valve disease, heart attack, heart surgery, or a birth defect. The specialists in our award-winning cardiac program will diagnose your cause and treat the irregular heartbeat with one or more of the following treatments:

  • Catheter ablation to eliminate abnormal heart cells that cause irregular rhythm
  • Cardioversion to reset your heartbeat
  • Blood-thinning medication to prevent clots
  • Heart medications to correct and slow down your heartbeat

Your Dignity Health Central Coast cardiologist will analyze your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to care for your physical, mental, and spiritual needs.

 

Helping You with Atrial Fibrillation Prevention

Atrial fibrillation is often not preventable. Most of the time, it is due to a concealed heart condition. The risk of atrial fibrillation increases as you age. You can protect your health and prevent atrial fibrillation by:

  • Not smoking
  • Controlling hypertension and high cholesterol
  • Exercising
  • Eating a healthy, low-salt diet
  • Maintaining a healthy weight
