Is atrial fibrillation a permanent condition?
A common misperception is that once you have an episode of atrial fibrillation, your heart will always be in this arrhythmia.

The time between episodes varies and may be quite lengthy (years). Others do experience atrial fibrillation permanently. Your cardiologist will base your treatment plan around your specific atrial fibrillation symptoms and medical condition.
