Patient's question:
I recently discovered that my heart isn't normal, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be atrial fibrillation. So now, I'm trying to understand what atrial fibrillation is and how serious it is.Doctor's answer:
This atrial fibrillation is a serious type of arrhythmia, which means your atria are beating completely irregularly. This can significantly affect the function of your heart, so it's quite serious. The treatment for atrial fibrillation primarily focuses on restoring sinus rhythm completely to prevent the formation of blood clots and stroke. In daily life, pay attention to rest, maintain a light diet, and always keep a positive and stable mood. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
