  • Anticoagulants: To reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke.

  • Electrical cardioversion: A procedure to restore normal heart rhythm.

  • Catheter ablation: A procedure to destroy small areas of the heart tissue that are causing the arrhythmia.

What are the natural and alternative treatments?

  • Coenzyme Q10: May help improve heart function and reduce arrhythmias.

  • Hawthorn extract: Known to support heart health and improve blood flow.

  • Magnesium supplements: Magnesium can help regulate heart rhythm and may be      beneficial for people with AFib.
