Atrial fibrillation, also known as atrial fibrillation, is a common arrhythmia. It can lead to a decrease in heart function and an increased risk of stroke and blood clots. This article will reveal the secrets of atrial fibrillation for you, and take you to understand its causes, symptoms, prevention and methods.
1. Causes of atrial fibrillation.
1. Heart diseases: such as coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, etc., these diseases may lead to changes in heart structure and cause atrial fibrillation.
2. Lifestyle: Bad lifestyle Xi habits such as excessive drinking, smoking, and lack of exercise may also increase the risk of atrial fibrillation.

2. Control blood pressure and blood sugar: Hypertension and hyperglycemia are important risk factors for atrial fibrillation and should be actively controlled.
3. Regular check-up: Regular ECG examination to detect arrhythmia early.
Fourth, atrial fibrillation.
1. Drugs**: control heart rate and anticoagulation through drugs to prevent thrombosis.
2. Non-drug**: such as electrical cardioversion** and catheter ablation**, suitable for some patients.
3. Surgery**: For patients with severe heart disease, surgery may be required**.
