A Dr. Douglas E. Severance, MD , Family Medicine, answered. Cardiologists usually treat atrial fibrillation, which is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist who specializes in arrhythmias. However, other kinds of doctors can also treat atrial fibrillation, and who you see usually depends on the type of health care plan you have.
If untreated, AFib may raise your risk of having blood clots, heart failure, or stroke. These could be life-threatening. Your doctor will consider your personal risk factors for these serious heart problems before he or she suggests a treatment for your AFib. If you have no symptoms or they are only mild, your doctor may watch and wait. But most people who have atrial fibrillation are prescribed the medication warfarin.
