The Saint Luke’s Comprehensive Atrial Fibrillation Program begins with helping patients modify their Afib risk factors through weight loss, treatment of sleep apnea, daily moderate exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and treating other risk factors, including hypertension and diabetes.  

Patients with atrial fibrillation are encouraged to work together with our clinicians to modify their risk factors and improve their likelihood of long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm in conjunction with other treatments such as antiarrhythmic therapy or catheter ablation.

Saint Luke’s Atrial Fibrillation Clinic 

Saint Luke’s Atrial Fibrillation Clinic features a highly specialized team of electrophysiologists, electrophysiology nurses, and nurse practitioners who specialize in treating patients with atrial fibrillation, fibrillation, a type of irregular heart rhythm.

Saint Luke’s is often the region’s only hospital to offer patients advanced investigational treatments. For example, our patients can benefit from a left atrial appendage occlusion procedure, such as a WATCHMAN® device, which is an alternative to blood thinners, studied at Saint Luke's prior to FDA approval and used to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation. We also were the first hospital in the region to offer pulsed field ablation, a novel type of ablation that selectively targets just the tissues causing Afib.
