A Holistic Approach to AFib | NWP Ep. 8

It's estimated that nearly 12 million people will have atrial fibrillation (AFib) by 2030. If you're unfamiliar with AFib, it's when the heart's upper chamber (atria) beats beats out of sync than the lower chambers (ventricles). The causes of AFib are numerous and varied, but are conventionally linked to age, genetics, cardiovascular health risk factors like obesity and high blood pressure. As common as these may be, we're really curious about how other factors may come in to play. What about environmental factors? What about mental health? What if people don't want to opt for invasive surgery to help solve the problem, are there other options? That's why we brought in an expert and board-certified cardiologist, Dr. Jack Wolfson.
