Personalized Care for Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter
In case your heartbeat is irregular or too rapid, then you may be suffering from Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) or Atrial Flutter- two frequent cardiac rhythm disorders that have the potential to alter the way your heart works.
At Cardio Care NYC, Dr. Olena Dotsenko, MD, a board-certified cardiologist, provides expert, compassionate care to help you understand, manage, and treat these conditions so you can feel steady and confident again.
Our goal is simple: to help you regain control of your heart health with a treatment plan designed around your unique needs and lifestyle.
Both AFib and Atrial Flutter are arrhythmias, i.e., the electrical signals of the heart are not in their normal, regular pattern.
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): The upper chambers (atria) beat in a fast, chaotic rhythm. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently.
Atrial Flutter: The rhythm is more regular than AFib but still quicker than usual.
Both can cause palpitations, fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath, and—if ignored—can raise the risk of stroke or heart failure.
