Why Rethink AFib?
Atrial fibrillation is more treatable than ever. If you've been told that medication is your only option, it may be time to get a second opinion. Modern treatment approaches can offer lasting freedom from AFib symptoms and medications.

AFib Ablation
Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the areas of the heart responsible for irregular electrical signals. By restoring a more natural rhythm, many patients experience long-term relief from AFib symptoms such as fatigue, palpitations, and shortness of breath. Unlike medications that often manage symptoms, ablation addresses the root cause of the irregular heartbeat. Recovery is usually quick, and many people can return to normal activities within a few days. For suitable candidates, ablation offers a chance to reduce or eliminate the need for ongoing medication. It’s a proven option for patients who want a lasting solution to AFib.
Watchman™ Device
The Watchman™ device is a small implant designed to reduce the risk of stroke in people with AFib who are not caused by heart valve problems. It works by closing off the left atrial appendage, where harmful blood clots often form. This means patients may no longer need long-term blood thinners, which can carry bleeding risks. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires only a short hospital stay. Over time, the heart tissue grows around the device, offering permanent protection. For patients who cannot tolerate or prefer not to take blood thinners, the Watchman™ device provides peace of mind and a safe alternative.
Medication Management
Medications are often the first step in managing AFib, helping control heart rate and rhythm while reducing stroke risk. Common options include blood thinners, rate-control medicines, and rhythm-control drugs. While medications can ease symptoms, they may not always prevent AFib episodes or address its underlying cause. Some patients may also experience side effects or need frequent adjustments to their prescription. Still, for many, medications provide effective symptom relief and protection against complications. Your doctor will carefully tailor a treatment plan that balances benefits with safety, often in combination with other AFib therapies if needed.

Medication vs. Procedure
When treating AFib, both medications and procedures play an important role. Medications can help control heart rate, maintain rhythm, and reduce the risk of stroke, but they may not always stop AFib episodes or provide long-term relief. Procedures like catheter ablation or the Watchman™ device aim to address the root cause of AFib or reduce its complications more permanently. While medications are often the first step, many patients find that procedures offer greater freedom from symptoms and less dependence on daily drugs. Your doctor will recommend the best option based on your health, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
