Research Notes on Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
Many patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation do not require any treatment at all. Your doctor will consider many factors before recommending medication for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. One consideration will be how often the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes occur.1
Fast Facts:
- In general, the goal of therapy is to maintain a normal heart rhythm.2
- Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and cold medications with pseudoephedrine should be avoided, as all have been shown to be triggers.3
- If you have atrial fibrillation for the first time, doctors may choose to use an electrical procedure such as cardioversion or medicine such as amiodarone, sotalol, flecainide, or dofetilide to restore the heart rhythm to normal.4
