Welcome to Michoes Medical Centre, your trusted partner in managing atrial fibrillation. Our team of experienced cardiologists and orthopedic specialists is dedicated to providing you with the best possible care for this condition.
Understanding Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the heart’s upper chambers beat too quickly and irregularly, rather than beating in a regular rhythm.
Treatment Options at Michoes Medical Centre
We offer two main treatment options for AFib: cardioversion and cardiac ablation. Cardioversion involves giving you a mild electric shock to reset your heart to a normal rhythm. Cardiac ablation, on the other hand, destroys small parts of tissue inside your heart to keep faulty electrical signals from triggering irregular beats.
Cardioversion
C cardioversion is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and can be done using a transvenous approach or a percutaneous approach. The procedure involves administering a medication that helps your heart beat normally, followed by the application of a mild electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat.
Cardiac Ablation
C cardiac ablation is performed on an outpatient basis and can take several hours to complete. During this procedure, a cardiologist uses a catheter to locate the source of the abnormal electrical signals in your heart. Once located, the cardiologist destroys the affected tissue using radiofrequency energy or freezing it with liquid nitrogen.
Post-Procedure Care
After undergoing cardioversion or cardiac ablation at Michoes Medical Centre, you will need to follow a strict regimen of medication and lifestyle changes to ensure your heart beats normally. This may include taking blood thinners to prevent clots from forming, as well as making dietary and exercise modifications to reduce your risk of complications.
