Herbal Care Products Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

Treatment of atrial fibrillation is aimed at the control of circulation instability and prevention of stroke. Control of rate and rhythm of the heart is stressed upon to achieve former while later is controlled by appropriate anti-coagulant drugs. Cardio-selective beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and cardiac glycoside are prescribed to increase the block at AV node thereby decreasing the number of impulses that reach the ventricles. Anti-coagulants such as heparin, warfarin are added to the treatment regimen to decrease the risk of stroke. Cardioversion techniques are employed to restore normal heart rhythm by application of DC electrical shocks and chemicals. If the medical treatment and cardioversion fails, then a much preferred radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation is attempted.
