Description:

Dr. Todd Rudo, a cardiac electrophysiologist, discusses atrial fibrillation,in which the top chambers of the heart fibrillate, instead of contracting. Symptoms include light headedness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fainting. A holter moniter confims the diagnosis. You will need blood thinner to prevent stroke,usually coumadin. Medications or ablation can treat the rhythm. Main Line Cardiology Assoc. Paoli, PA. 610-647-2400

Dr. Rudo, I am finding out a lot about atrial fibrillation, which I understand is a very commom arrhythmia. I am getting in shape recently as my family has so many risk factors for heart disease. My doctor has used the Holter monitor. Thanks for all of the information.
