Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of atrial fibrillation is safe and effective

If atrial fibrillation is not treated in time, it will cause some serious complications, the most common of which is cerebral artery embolism. Sudden death caused by atrial fibrillation is also becoming more and more common. You can choose traditional Chinese medicine to treat atrial fibrillation, but you must also prevent the causes of atrial fibrillation.

2. Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation

1. The prevention of atrial fibrillation should start with the prevention and treatment of the causes and triggers, treating the primary heart disease and controlling the factors that induce atrial fibrillation.

2. After atrial fibrillation is converted, antiarrhythmic drugs are usually needed to maintain sinus rhythm to prevent recurrence of atrial fibrillation. In recent years, the use of special programs built into implanted pacemakers to control and prevent atrial fibrillation has achieved remarkable results in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, allowing some atrial fibrillation that was previously difficult to treat with drugs and recurred to be satisfactorily controlled.

3. The current discovery of the pathogenic gene of human atrial fibrillation will also open up new ways to prevent atrial fibrillation in the future.
