Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm caused by irregular electrical signals in the heart. Millions of adults are diagnosed with this common arrythmia every year. Advanced Afib occurs over 12 or more months, with little or no improvement.

If left untreated, Afib can lead to several painful and frightening symptoms:

Pain in the chest

Shortness of breath

Fatigue

Weakness

Pressure in the chest

Feeling lightheaded

Lowered blood pressure

Dizziness or fainting

Afib doesn't only cause uncomfortable symptoms that can interrupt your day. If left untreated, it leads to a higher risk of other serious medical conditions. When erratic electrical signals interrupt the heart's regular rhythm, it can lead to scarring, stretching, and stiffening of the heart muscle. All of these things combined cause the heart to become weaker over time, making you more susceptible to dangerous health problems.

Untreated Afib can lead to higher risk of:

• Stroke
• Blood Clots
• Pulmonary Embolism
• Heart Attack
• Heart Failure¹

Hybrid AF Therapy involves two procedures, which occur separately over several months. This therapy is designed to be a personalized treatment for Advanced Afib, especially if you haven't found success with other treatment options, like catheter ablation or cardioversion.

First, your healthcare team will perform an Epicardial (or outside) ablation. This procedure involves creating a barrier to stop the erratic electrical signals on the outside of the heart muscle. 

The next procedure is a Endocardial (or inside) ablation. This involves inserting a minimally-invasive catheter through the groin area to the heart. This allows doctors to treat areas inside of the heart that are difficult to reach.

With these two parts completed, you may finally have stopped Advanced Afib in its tracks - for good! This can reduce your risk of serious medical conditions in the future, and give you back the active lifestyle you love.
