Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of sustained irregular heartbeat, with overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) linked to various health issues like hypertension and obesity.
- Methods that lower SNS activity, including medications like moxonidine, have been shown to decrease AF occurrences in patients, especially those with high blood pressure.
- Additionally, innovative approaches such as renal denervation show promise in treating AF by targeting the elevated sympathetic drive.
