It is possible for atrial fibrillation to recur after it has been reversed with medication. Atrial fibrillation varies according to the type of atrial fibrillation, which can be categorized into paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, persistent atrial fibrillation and permanent atrial fibrillation. 1. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refers to atrial fibrillation that lasts less than seven days and can be terminated on its own. The effect of drug recovery before self-termination is obvious, the recurrence rate is very low, and the atrial fibrillation can disappear after effective treatment of the primary disease. 2. Persistent atrial fibrillation refers to atrial fibrillation that lasts for more than seven days. Usually, it can be developed from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The episodes last for more than 48 hours and cannot recover on their own, but require pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic interventions to recover, and pharmacologic interventions are ineffective or recur soon after intervention. This type of atrial fibrillation often has a serious primary disease, and if the primary disease is not cured, atrial fibrillation is likely to recur. 3. Permanent atrial fibrillation, refers to the patient’s atrial fibrillation is difficult to restore to sinus rhythm, or difficult to maintain sinus rhythm after restoration. If repeated application of drugs to restore, not only the effect is not good, can not maintain sinus rhythm for a long time, and the side effects of drugs will be aggravated. After the occurrence of atrial fibrillation, the most important thing is the treatment and prevention of the original disease, atrial fibrillation resumption is symptomatic prevention of thromboembolism and other complications, and can not be alleviated at all. After resumption, it is important to exercise properly, have a regular routine and diet, and seek medical attention when symptoms occur. Each person’s situation is different, and you should consult a specialist for more information.
