Cauvery Hospital in association with Hindu Wellness Series organised a webinar on the four pillars of atrial fibrillation management on Friday. Controlling the rate and rhythm of atrial fibrillation and reducing risk factors were discussed during the webinar.
During the webinar, experts said atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm problem, which causes the heart to beat faster than normal. Age, high blood pressure, obesity and sleep-disordered breathing are possible risk factors.
