Permanent AF has a poor prognosis. Permanent (chronic) atrial fibrillation cannot be corrected by treatment and requires long-term medication under the supervision of a clinician to control the heart rate and reduce the risk of stroke, among other things. AF is the most common abnormal heartbeat or arrhythmia. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is closely related to other cardiovascular diseases. AF that lasts longer than 1 year is called permanent AF. Treatment of permanent AF is aimed at minimizing the risk of blood clots and restoring the heart to a normal rhythm, and there are a number of treatments available, including lifestyle changes, medications, pacemakers or similar electronic devices, procedures to reset the heart rhythm, surgery, ablation, etc. The prognosis for permanent AF, however, is not clear. However, permanent atrial fibrillation has a poorer prognosis and usually requires long-term regimented treatment under a doctor’s supervision to help control the risks and symptoms of permanent atrial fibrillation. People with permanent atrial fibrillation are urged to seek prompt hospital care if they experience any discomfort to avoid delays.
