Why Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation Is So Important
If left untreated, atrial fibrillation can scar, stretch, and stiffen the heart muscle.

Atrial fibrillation also puts people at higher risk for many other health conditions, including:
- 5x increase in stroke risk2
- 5x increase in heart failure development3
Even if people develop other heart problems, there is hope. When atrial fibrillation is successfully treated, the benefits can:
- Reverse the stretching of the left atrium1
- Improve heart function overall1
- Improve your symptoms1
- Reduce the number of heart medications you need1
