rhythm control

Rhythm control is a treatment approach aimed at restoring and maintaining the normal, regular heartbeat in individuals with irregular heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation. This can be achieved through medications called anti-arrhythmic drugs, electrical procedures such as cardioversion that reset the heart's rhythm, or procedures like catheter ablation that destroy abnormal tissue causing the irregularity. The goal is to improve symptoms, reduce the risk of complications like stroke, and enhance quality of life by keeping the heart's rhythm as normal and stable as possible.
