Mercy Health—Cincinnati proudly announces the launch of its innovative AFib Clinics, a groundbreaking initiative in the Cincinnati region focused on individuals diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. These specialized clinics are geared towards providing practical solutions for managing AFib symptoms and empowering patients with insights into the latest treatment options for effective long-term planning.
Atrial fibrillation, the most common heart arrhythmia, is characterized by irregular electrical activity in the atria, leading to symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, and dizziness. Patients with AFib also face an increased risk of stroke and heart failure. The clinics aim to address these challenges by offering personalized care plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Mercy Health cardiologist Reza Mehzad, MD, emphasizes the crucial role of lifestyle changes in managing AFib: "Lifestyle changes are pivotal in managing AFib, and patients can take proactive steps in enhancing their quality of life post-diagnosis." This patient-centered approach underlines the importance of individualized care to optimize treatment outcomes.
The Mercy Health AFib Clinics, conveniently located at The Jewish Hospital— Mercy Health and Mercy Health— Fairfield Hospital, will be open and accepting appointments on June 17. Contact the AFib Clinic at (513)966-7795 for more information.
