Afib progression can be life threatening – and may not be apparent at first sight.

But it’s possible to recognize it even before experiencing the first episode.

Underlying damage that makes it more likely to develop Afib can be found through modifiable risk factors that are commonly seen in patients being treated for other heart conditions.

Some of the most common are hypertension, diabetes, obesity and inflammation.

Finding the damage, called atrial cardiomyopathy, is important for early detection of Afib – but can also signal the potential of stroke even without Afib.
