Treatment varies depending on the cause of the atrial fibrillation or flutter.
Medication may include digitalis or other medications that slow the heart beat or that slow conduction of the impulse to the ventricles. The disorder is usually controllable with treatment. Atrial fibrillation may become a chronic condition. Atrial flutter is usually a short-term problem. Call your health care provider if symptoms indicate atrial fibrillation or flutter may be present.
