This condition, known as Atrial Fibrillation (AF) can be a recurring temporary condition or it may be chronic which means that it becomes permanent.

Anti-arrhythmic medications are effective in restoring normal heart rhythm when administered immediately after AF onset at a suitably high dosage. Medications are recommended for patients who do not immediately require therapy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kauveryhospital.com\/blog\/heart-health\/the-difference-between-beta-blockers-and-clot-busters\/\"><u>Beta-blockers<\/u><\/a>, such as metoprolol or esmolol, and calcium channel blockers, such as diltiazem and verapamil, are commonly used for AF treatment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Anti-Coagulant Therapy <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Anti-coagulant therapy is essential before cardioversion (explained below) or when the onset of AF cannot be elucidated. It is vital for patients with AF as they are highly susceptible to blood clot formation in the atria (upper chambers of the heart), increasing stroke risk.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Warfarin <\/b><\/strong>is recommended for patients with heart valve problems.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Oral anticoagulants <\/b><\/strong>are administered to patients with lone AF (the cause is unidentifiable) without valve replacement.<\/li>\n<li>Warfarin or factor Xa inhibitors (apixaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran) are recommended for patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score \u22652 (the score evaluates stroke risk).<\/li>\n<li>Patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1 are recommended oral anticoagulants, whereas no anti-coagulant therapy is required for those with a score of 0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><b>Cardioversion <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This procedure uses a mild electrical shock to restore normal heart rhythm. Although the method is of short duration, patient preparation takes a few hours. Preparation includes administering general anesthesia and placing electrodes on the chest and back, which are connected to the cardioversion machine. The machine records the heart\u2019s electrical activity and sends mild electrical shocks to the heart to restore normal rhythm. After the procedure, the heart rhythm and blood pressure are monitored.<\/p>\n<p>This procedure may dislodge blood clots, increasing stroke risk. Therefore, anti-clotting medications are recommended before or after the procedure. Electrical cardioversion is frequently coupled with anti-arrhythmic drugs to increase the chances of restoring normal heart rhythm.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Traditional Radiofrequency Ablation <\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A catheter (a thin, flexible wire) with a sensor at its tip is inserted into the neck or groin vein. The sensor applies heat energy (radio waves) to create scars in a specific area of the heart causing an irregular heartbeat. The scar neutralizes or re-routes the abnormal electrical signals causing the irregular heartbeat. This procedure is being successfully performed at Kauvery Hospital.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Cryoballoon Ablation <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This safe and minimally invasive procedure is useful for paroxysmal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vkSLNzXDcF4&amp;t=114s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>atrial fibrillation treatment<\/u><\/a>. It targets the tissue responsible for abnormal electrical signalling between the pulmonary vein and atria. A catheter is inserted into the vein in the groin area and guided to the heart. Once the pulmonary vein is accessed, the balloon is inflated and filled with a gas coolant. The cold temperature creates a scar and stops the abnormal transmission of electrical signals. This method reduces the risk of stroke or heart failure. Large areas of tissue can be treated, increasing the effectiveness of the process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Can atrial fibrillation cause stroke? | Spot. Act.

In Cox-Maze III, the surgeon makes multiple small incisions in a maze-like pattern to create scars in both atria. The scars block the abnormal electrical signals, ensuring the atria and ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) expand and contract in a timely fashion and in the correct order. The procedure involves transmural incisions (penetrating all the tissue layers) that permanently block abnormal electrical signals. Additionally, the removal of the left atrial appendage (a small tongue-shaped sac attached to the left atrium) reduces stroke risk, as blood trapped in the left atrial appendage can form clots.<\/p>\n<p>The Cox-Maze IV procedure uses ablation techniques (heating or freezing heart tissue), rather than incisions, to create the scars.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker Implantation <\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A single ablation catheter is inserted into the vein near the groin area to deliver radio waves and knock out the AV node (involved in sending electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles). A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yHbodMIz1lk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>pacemaker<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is implanted before or during the procedure to transmit electrical signals, resulting in a coordinated heartbeat. As this procedure involves a pacemaker, it is usually the last option for AF treatment.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"q3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>The Risk Of An Embolic Stroke<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When AF causes blood flow to slow down in the heart, this stagnant blood can form clots. These clots may become dislodged from the heart and travel to the brain or to any other part of the body. When this happens the supply of blood to the organ is reduced or may even be blocked. Without proper blood supply, the brain cells begin to die and this may result in, among other complications, paralysis, reduced mental ability and even death. This is known as an Embolic Stroke. An embolus is a\u00a0 clot\u00a0 that traveled\u00a0 from one part of the body to the other, usually from the\u00a0 heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is estimated that about 1 in every 6 strokes is\u00a0 caused by AF and that those suffering from AF are 5 times more likely to suffer from a stroke as compared to those without this condition.
