Our mission to combat complex heartrhythm diseases relies on optimizing interoperability. About AFib, AI and Clinical Trials from HRS 2024 The American Heart Association defines AFib as a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to bloodclots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.
Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of bloodclots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. Patients are often treated with AADs as frontline therapy for heartrhythm maintenance, though some can experience adverse effects and limited efficacy.
It’s crucial to monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any significant changes to your healthcare provider so they can adjust the dosage of the medication accordingly. Heart Rate and Rhythm Some medications can slow down or speed up your heart rate. However, they can also increase the risk of bleeding.
Antiarrhythmic Drugs WHAT THEY DO : Antiarrhythmic drugs are used to help prevent or treat abnormal heartrhythms, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. The most common antiarrhythmic drugs for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) include beta-blockers (see above) and sodium channel blockers.
Have you wondered what causes a heart attack? Three coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. When one of these arteries becomes completely blocked by a bloodclot, it results in a heart attack, also known as MI (Myocardial infarction).
