Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 21 years old this year. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have atrial fibrillation. I don't know what it is, I've never heard of it before, and I'm very worried, so I want to consult the doctor about what to do about atrial fibrillation in young people?Doctor's answer:
21-year-old young person, who previously had atrial fibrillation as indicated by the hospital's alarm. Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia. If the young person experiences atrial fibrillation again, the likelihood of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is higher. It is often related to preexcitation syndrome, and it may also be a functional arrhythmia that reappears without obvious organic heart disease. If it is paroxysmal recurrent atrial fibrillation, it is best to undergo radiofrequency ablation to provide relief. Preventing long-term atrial fibrillation can make it difficult to convert it back to sinus rhythm.
