Once a patient is diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (Afib), one of our first tasks is to classify what type of Afib they have.
Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation:
-Episodes of atrial fibrillation that last minutes or hours but stop on their own.
-This is more commonly seen earlier in the disease process and for patients with fewer comorbidities, such as hypertension or obesity
Persistent Atrial Fibrillation:
- Episodes that last longer than seven days
- Typically, the episodes persist until an intervention, such as a medication or a procedure, is made.
Longstanding Persistent Atrial Fibrillation:
- Patients that have continuous AFib for longer than one year.
- Treatment will be more complex and with lower chances of reestablishing normal rhythm.
Permanent Atrial Fibrillation:
- Patients in continuous afib and that will no longer attempt to restore normal rhythm.
- For these patients a joint decision (physician and patient) has been made to no longer use medications (anti-arrhythmic drugs) or procedures (cardioversion or ablation) to attempt to restore the rhythm. Typically we make this decision when we believe that the chances to restore normal rhythm are very low.
The progression of Afib and the different types discussed above highlight the importance of earlier identification and treatment of atrial fibrillation. To summarize, we have different types of Afib (paroxysmal, persistent, long-standing persistent and permanent) and the earlier we identify and treat your condition the more likely it is that we can restore your quality of life and reduce your chances of having a stroke.

Mine jumps from 63 to 89 a few minutes , seconds or 20 mins for 13 years I have a pacemaker to stop my heart beating below 50 beats whats best for me I also had 2 minor strokes but still here
Is a heart palpitations an episode of AFIB?
I’m not getting a pacemaker. I had 2 procedures done and on blood thiner and beta blocker rest of life.
I absolutely HATE when I go into AFib! How anyone could ever Stand to be in A Fib for Hours much less Days is truly beyond me!!!#UGH!😨
Thank Goodness I've only had to have medical intervention to STOP my AFib twice! I've had paroxmal afib for almost 5 years now. I would love to have an ablation but my cardio wants to just use medication for now!? #GoFigure.
I’m pretty sure I’m the first one but how do I know it’s AFIB and not just heart palpatations It’s been little,over a month since I was diagnosed with AFIB. I’m on meds So far so good. However, I do get the occasional palpitation, only lasts a minute. Is that afib?
A fib
