Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib, is a common heart rhythm condition that causes the heart to beat irregularly. At Mount Carmel Health System, our heart and vascular specialists help patients in Columbus and central Ohio diagnose, manage and treat AFib with coordinated, compassionate care.

AFib can happen in brief episodes or become a long-term condition. For some people, it causes noticeable symptoms like a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath or fatigue. Others may have no symptoms at all. Because AFib can increase the risk of stroke and other heart complications, it’s important to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

Mount Carmel offers advanced AFib care, including medication management, heart rhythm monitoring, cardioversion and atrial fibrillation ablation.
