Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with heart disease three years ago. Recently, as I've gotten older, I feel that my condition has become somewhat severe, and atrial fibrillation has recurred repeatedly. It is said that surgical treatment is possible. Is surgery absolutely necessary for atrial fibrillation?Doctor's answer:
Atrial fibrillation doesn't necessarily require surgery. Currently, the main treatment for atrial fibrillation is still medication. How to treat it specifically, there are surgical treatments, and it is recommended to consult a professional doctor to implement a diagnosis based on your actual situation. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of persistent arrhythmia. As age increases, the incidence of atrial fibrillation also increases, especially for older age groups, extra attention should be paid.
