Atrial fibrillation treatments

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting over 6 million people worldwide, mainly those ages 65 and older. As the population continues aging, that number is expected to rise. Atrial fibrillation is the irregular, chaotic beating of the upper chambers of the heart. Episodes of AF may last a few minutes or several days.

A pacemaker is a small device that it is placed under the skin in your chest to help control your heartbeat. People may need a pacemaker for many reasons, mostly due to arrhythmias, in which the heart's rhythm is abnormal. The VR pacemaker has one lead that connects the pulse generator to one chamber of your heart. For most people, we use the single-chamber pacemaker to control heartbeat pacing by connecting the lead to your right ventricle (lower heart chamber).

The implantable loop recorder (ILR) is a subcutaneous, single-lead, electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring device used for diagnosis in patients with recurrent unexplained episodes of palpitations or syncope, for long-term monitoring in patients at risk for or with documented atrial fibrillation (AF), and for risk stratification in patients who have sustained a myocardial infarction (MI) and those who have certain genetic disorders.

DR Pacemaker is a small device that it is placed under the skin in your chest to help control your heartbeat. With two leads, this device connects to both chambers on the right side of your heart, the right atrium and the right ventricle. The doctor programs the dual-chamber pacemaker to regulate the pace of contractions of both chambers.
