What Is Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common heart rhythm disorder characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat that can disrupt normal blood flow through the heart. If not properly managed, it can lead to a range of concerning symptoms and pose serious health risks.

We offer personalized care plans, from diagnosis to advanced rhythm control options, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment for your unique case. With compassion and expertise, we'll guide you toward a healthier future, free from AFib's limitations.
Atrial Fibrillation Risk Factors & Symptoms
The exact cause of AFib is not always known, but genetics, lifestyle factors, age, and other heart conditions can play a role. Some people with AFib may not experience any noticeable symptoms, a condition referred to as "silent AFib." However, even in the absence of symptoms, AFib can still increase the risk of serious complications like stroke.
Symptoms may include:
- Irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Chest discomfort
- Fainting (syncope)
- Anxiety
Get the Answers You Need With Our Advanced Diagnostic Tools
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) diagnosis is confirmed when irregular heartbeats are detected in ECG recordings. Additionally, tests may help determine the type and underlying cause of AFib, whether paroxysmal (intermittent), persistent, or permanent.
We utilize the most advanced testing, diagnostic, and treatment resources to provide life-saving heart care when and where you need it. Our in-house capabilities include:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Holter monitor
- Event recorder

Restoring Rhythm With Advanced AFib Treatments
We believe that every patient deserves a treatment plan that is unique to them. That's why our multidisciplinary team works closely with you, taking into account your specific needs, circumstances, and goals.
Treatment for AFib aims to control heart rhythm, prevent blood clots, and alleviate symptoms. Our approach depends on factors like the type of AFib, its underlying causes, your overall health, and preferences. With proper diagnosis and treatment, many patients can manage AFib effectively and prevent serious consequences.
Medications like beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin are used to slow down the heart rate, improving its rhythm and allowing the heart chambers to fill properly.
Antiarrhythmic medications or a procedure known as cardioversion can help restore and maintain a normal heart rhythm. They can also be used to convert episodes of AFib back to normal sinus rhythm.
Anticoagulant medications and blood thinners help to prevent blood clots from forming in the heart, which can lead to stroke.
In this minimally invasive procedure, catheters are threaded into the heart to destroy or isolate the abnormal electrical pathways causing AFib. PVI targets the pulmonary veins, which are often a source of AFib triggers.
Maze procedure and AV node ablation are two surgical procedures that can be used to treat AFib.
