Untreated AFib Gets Exponentially Worse

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]There is one concept I wish every AFib patient understood from day one.

[00:00:06]Three words that change everything.

[00:00:09]AFib begets AFib. AFib doesn't sit still. The irregular rhythm itself damages the structure and the electrical wiring of your upper chambers called the atria over time.

[00:00:22]Think of it like a small fire in a dry field.

[00:00:25]Caught early, it's manageable.

[00:00:28]But if left alone, it's spreads and becomes much harder to control. And research shows that anywhere from 11 to 15% of patients with paroxysmal AFib, the kind that comes and goes, progresses to persistent AFib within just 12 months without treatment.
