Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common heart rhythm disorder though many people don’t even know they have it. In this episode of Baptist HealthTalk, Dr. Brian Wilner, electrophysiologist at Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, explains how AFib is detected, who’s most at risk and why untreated AFib raises your chances of having a stroke.

You’ll also hear what AFib feels like, the latest treatment options - from medications and ablation to the WATCHMAN device - and how lifestyle choices like exercise, sleep and alcohol can impact your heart health. Think you might have AFib? Talk to your cardiologist or an electrophysiologist about testing and treatment.
