Treatments for AF depend on the type of AF someone has, and their individual needs.
If you have AF, you should always discuss the pros ✔️ and cons ❌ of which treatment is most suited to you with your healthcare team.
Our "Treatment Options for Atrial Fibrillation" booklet offers advice and information about anticoagulant therapy, pill in the pocket, cardioversion, ablation, pace & ablate and more.
What's so sad about seeing this is that it isn't what happens. Where are these healthcare teams? When I was diagnosed they gave me two packets of pills and left me to it. I thought that was it - done and dusted. It was only a couple of months later that our practice nurse during a routine blood test told me 'you know it'll only get worse don't you?' No, I'd no idea.
Thank goodness for this forum!
I've been posting on social media about AF this week.
We need more Arrhythmia Nurses in the NHS and better informed General Practitioners.
