Atrial Fibrillation Management Guidelines

Atrial fibrillation (AF) management aims to control irregular heartbeats, reduce stroke risk, and improve quality of life. Treatment options include blood thinners to prevent clots, medications to regulate heart rhythm or rate, and procedures like ablation. Lifestyle changes—such as reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, managing blood pressure, and exercising—are also important. The best approach depends on individual health factors and symptom severity. Regular monitoring and collaboration with a healthcare provider help tailor treatment, minimize risks, and enhance heart health.
