Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is primarily an age-related condition, but there are many factors that can accelerate its development and progression. In this video, we break down the main causes of AFib, why it worsens over time, and what you can do to slow its progression. Understanding the risk factors—like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and obesity—can help you take control of your heart health and manage AFib more effectively.
Key Points Discussed:
• AFib is primarily caused by aging, with risk increasing each decade of life
• High blood pressure and sleep apnea are major contributors to AFib progression
• Valve disease, diabetes, and inflammation can also speed up AFib development
• Being overweight and sedentary puts extra strain on the heart, worsening AFib
• While aging is unavoidable, managing risk factors can help slow AFib’s progression
