In this Matters of the Heart discussion between Pentucket Medical cardiologists Kenneth Adams and Seth Bilazarian, various aspects of a complex topic are brought to light and clarified. A topic of interest to all who are managing Atrial Fibrillation.

Thank you Doctors very informative detailed advice. I was a very active 72 year old, who worked full time showing potential tenants around properties, playing walking football 2 to 3 times a week and swimming at every opportunity and involved my my 3 grandchildren daily. Until having my life changing Pfizer Booster Vaccination and within days having breathing problems and then being diagnosed with AF after tests at hospital.

There are FOUR major issues which this discussion omits: 1 - How can we address the causes of AFib rather than manage the symptoms? What lifestyle choices should the patient consider (diet, exercise etc.)? 2 - If the majority of cases are not associated with the mitral valve, what are they caused by? 3 - Blood thinners carry an increased risk of other kinds of stroke (haemorragic I believe) - doesn’t this matter any more? 4 - Do these guidelines very according to whether the AFib is lone, paroxysmal or persistent?

The medical industry, like big pharma is not in the business of curing people, there’s no money in that. Look up Barbara O’Neil, Dr Eric Berg & Dr Ford Brewer for cures.

Absolutely no mention of root causes like mineral deficiency. Only addresses treating downstream affects of the symptoms. In my case magnesium cleared up my problem completely.

Hi John. I am 60 and have had NSR with a rate of 60 for the last 40 years. I eat relatively healthy. I exercise and am in better shape than average. I recently started having A fib. first time was at rate of 100. Now when it happens it is at a rate of 130. I am also a medical professional, so I have better than average knowledge. I had been studying about magnesium deficiencies causing various issues and had actually ordered ReMag, a liquid Mg with a high absorption and began taking it very frequently to try and saturate cells. I went into the Hospital where I work with Afib in 130's. Spent the night an a Cardizem drip and had a cardiac cath which I said I would never do. I did the cath because 2 weeks prior I had a Coronary Artery Calcium Scan done and it scored moderate at 139. Knowing I had some plaques, I wanted to see where they were so I knew my risk of heart attack. Anyway, I went home after the cath and was back in NSR until I did some exercise which triggered the Afib. The biggest concern of having Afib is that it increases the risk of having a stroke by 10 X. So I started taking a blood thinner and BP medication. Also never had high BP before. Always 120-130 over 70's. I am very much a believer in naturopathic medicine. I don't want to be on meds and blood thinners..I went to the health food store in town and bought another form of magnesium that has a patent on it from MIT called MagMind. So I am taking 2 forms of mag. Another thing I found was that low testosterone levels in men can lead to Afib, so I am also going to correct this. This is just for everyone's knowledge. I have had high cholesterol of 240 to 340 for the last 20 years. I have 2 small10 to 20% blockages. So don't believe the BS about cholesterol and don't take statins.

Most heart arrhythmias are linked to hormonal imbalances, but western medicine refuses to take the time and effort to address this. Treat the symptoms vs the cause is the easy way out.

About shared decision making: A significant percentage of patients eventually elect on their own to quit blood thinners. I wonder if shared decision making increases the likelihood of compliance down the road.

@-xyz-012 Жыл бұрын

At the end of the day people have all sorts of health issues due to a lack of minerals and vitamins. Low magnesium levels and Vit B1 are major contributing factors to AF & flutters.

Perhaps before pushing yet another pill, you might consider an in-depth course in nutrition. A-fib is completely reversible in most cases, but in those who would benefit from 'thinner' blood, there are so many natural (plant-based) anticoagulants available, none of which carry negative side effects.

GreylinRose Nearly every drug, especially those dealing with life sustaining processes will or has dealt with some sort of lawsuit(s). Aspirin, Tylenol, etc have had many lawsuits as well. Great beneficial drugs, but some have a side effect and feel suing is a good route to go.

@bobb.6783 7 жыл бұрын

It's common practice for big pharma to launch these class action law suits for potential patients to sign onto, and receive a small settlement; however, they have to sign away their right to sue the companies regarding the medicine in the future. For example the typical class action benefit is about $2,000-$5,000. The patient/defendant might die later, and a lawsuit could be worth millions against the drug companies. Now the family is not able to sue for the death of their loved one if that person accepted the class action award, and signed away their right to sue again. Pretty smart on the part of big pharma to save a ton of money. All those drug law suits are started by the drug companies. That's our first clue to never sign away your right to sue them.

I was taking a couple of capsules of combined types of magnesium and still developed A-Fib...but my cardiologist and I believe that I probably had it for several years before it gave me a major problem. I don't have the mitrial regurgitation either but I prefer Warfarin because it is easier to reverse...and I have my INR checked every Tuesday to ensure that I stay within guidelines (as I eat a lot of kale and other leafy greens some weeks but not others)

@ldean8360 5 жыл бұрын

Magnesium is great, but it may not work for everyone. You need to ID the root cause. It could be tissue damage, it could be nerve damage. New studies have shown that insulin resistance causes a glucose deficiency in atrial muscle cells that can lead to A-fib,.. BUT, there are other causes of A-fib such as vagus nerve irritation caused by hiatal hernia. If you find the root cause, you can treat the disease.
