AnMed Health issued the following announcement on February 10.
Atrial Fibrillation or AFib is a heart condition that affects many Americans. AFib occurs when the upper and lower chambers are not coordinated, causing the heart to beat too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. People with AFib are five times more likely to have a stroke than people without the condition. If left untreated, it can also lead to heart failure.
AnMed Health has multiple options to help treat and diagnose AFib, and even offers an AFib Clinic to specifically address AFib symptoms. Melinda Jenkins, nurse practitioner at AnMed Health's AFib Clinic, helps patients take a more in-depth look into their AFib diagnosis. They also decide an action plan together for healthy lifestyle choices and other relevant education to help the patient further their longevity.
Dr. Rick Henderson and Dr. Brian Miller of AnMed Health Arrhythmia Specialists use cutting-edge technology to treat irregular heartbeats. The technology involves a CardioInsight mapping vest equipped with 252-electrodes. The mapping vest helps pinpoint the locations of electrical malfunctions in the heart that cause irregular heartbeats. The new technology is less invasive, and the recovery time is quicker.
Those who think they may have symptoms of AFib should speak with their primary care physician for a referral. To find a doctor, contact AnMedHealth.org/Doctors or call AnMed Health
