In Germany, around 1.8 million people suffer from atrial fibrillation, the most common persistent cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation is a serious cardiac arrhythmia that sometimes occurs without major symptoms. Especially when it first occurs, atrial fibrillation causes fear and anxiety in many people when they notice that their heart is out of rhythm. It is therefore important for those affected to know whether this arrhythmia needs to be treated and what treatment options are available. In his online lecture, Prof. Dr. Peter Schwimmbeck, Clinical Director of Medical Clinic 1 (Cardiology), will explain to you what causes atrial fibrillation and what modern diagnostic and treatment options are available today. He will then answer questions from viewers.
