Patient's question:
My father is 70 years old this year. He has an irregular heartbeat, atrial fibrillation, and also suffers from subacute thyroiditis. He was hospitalized for treatment and has been discharged. After discharge, he still feels a fluttering sensation in his heartbeat. Could you please provide a treatment plan? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, hyperthyroidism can either cause or alleviate arrhythmia. Active treatment of the primary heart disease and hyperthyroidism is recommended. I don't know how long your father has had atrial fibrillation and whether it can be converted. If it cannot be converted, ventricular rate control is necessary, and anticoagulation is also required. The above suggestions are for the question "How to treat atrial fibrillation with hyperthyroidism." I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
