Vorhofflimmern - Turbulenzen im Herz

In Germany, around 1.8 million people suffer from atrial fibrillation, the most common persistent heart rhythm disorder. Atrial fibrillation is a serious heart rhythm disorder, which sometimes occurs without any major symptoms. Especially when it first occurs, atrial fibrillation triggers anxiety and anxiety in many people when they realize their heart is beating irregularly. It is therefore important for those affected to know whether this arrhythmia needs to be treated and what treatment options are available. Prof. Dr. Peter Schwimmbeck, Director of the Department of Cardiology at the Medical Clinic 1, will explain in his online lecture what can cause atrial fibrillation and what modern diagnostic and treatment options are available today. Afterwards, he will answer questions from the audience.
