Atrial fibrillation not only affects quality of life but also significantly increases the risk of stroke!
Cardiologists emphasize that the stroke risk for atrial fibrillation patients should be assessed based on factors such as age, gender, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, and previous stroke history. Typically, patients scoring above 2 should consider anticoagulant medication to prevent stroke.
However, if medication fails to effectively control atrial fibrillation, Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) may be a worthwhile option. This advanced treatment method precisely targets abnormal electrical conduction in the heart, helping to improve patients' quality of life and reduce stroke risk.
