Votre cœur bat-il vraiment normalement ? Un rythmologue explique la fibrillation atriale

Atrial fibrillation: 1 in 3 people develop this heart arrhythmia after age 55, and 40% of patients experience no symptoms. It is the most common heart rhythm disorder in the world—affecting 55 million people—and its main danger is not to the heart, but to the brain: the risk of stroke. In this first episode, Dr. Yoann Kiavué interviews Dr. Ardalan Sharifzadehgan, a cardiac electrophysiologist, to explain everything you need to know about atrial fibrillation (also called AF): symptoms, causes, diagnosis, risk factors, and stroke prevention. If you, or someone you know, is over 55, suffers from high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, or experiences palpitations, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue—this episode is for you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 Introduction 00:43 What is atrial fibrillation? 02:18 Sinus rhythm: how the heart normally works 03:22 Causes: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, sleep apnea 05:43 Symptoms: palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue 07:02 Why 40% of patients are asymptomatic 08:55 The real danger: stroke (cerebrovascular accident) 09:54 Anticoagulants and the CHA2DS2-VASc score 11:16 Men or women: who is more affected? 12:00 Screening and diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in 2026 14:10 The smartwatch revolution (Apple Watch, ECG) 20:50 Factors to monitor: blood pressure, sleep apnea, stress, alcohol 22:46 Lifestyle: losing 10% of your weight, a real treatment 28:34 Conclusion and next episode ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Dr. Ardalan Sharifzadehgan Erthrophysiologist, specialist in heart rhythm disorders 🎙️ HOSTED BY Dr. Yoann Kiavué Cardiologist ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 NEXT EPISODE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Atrial fibrillation: treatments (medication, catheter ablation, surgery).
