DEHYDRATION AND AFIB: DO THEY HAVE ANY CONNECTION?

[TVR1]

Hi All

Can dehydration trigger atrial fibrillation. Several articles on website apply does but it’s never mentioned via the cardiologist or GP to increase leaves. Just keep taking the pills?

dehydration can generally cause issues for the body - So maybe it’s common sense to keep hydrated and that’s why they don’t mention it?

But I don’t think hydration can take away the need for pills.

But I think heart failure people have to strike a balance but I don’t know enough to comment.
