risk factors<\/a> make some people more predisposed to developing symptoms of Afib. If you fall into any of the high-risk categories outlined below, then speak to your doctor about a treatment plan to handle the symptoms of Afib, if and when they occur.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nAge is the most predominant risk factor in developing Afib. The older you are, the more likely you are to incur the condition. In most cases, seniors over the age of 65-years old are most at risk.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients with heart disease are the second highest risk group for developing Afib symptoms. Patients with valve problems, coronary artery disease, or a history of cardiac events, are more likely to develop symptoms of Afib.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients with hypertension that do not receive medication to manage their condition may experience symptoms of Afib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other chronic conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, CKD, or diabetes, may exacerbate symptoms of Afib.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obesity and alcoholism are also high-risk lifestyle behaviors that may lead to the development of the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
