Medications for Atrial Fibrillation The symptoms of atrial fibrillation are caused by the irregular heartbeat. Some people find Afib episodes to be painful and frightening. Others say they are simply uncomfortable. To help, your medical team may prescribe medications aimed at controlling your heart rate and your heart rhythm. In some cases, the same medications are used to control both. Beta blockers are a class of medications that are commonly used for heart rate control. These medications block some of the effects of adrenaline, which tends to make the heart beat faster. Metoprolol is an example of a commonly used beta blocker.

But without anticoagulants, the risk of stroke in AF patients is as much as five times the normal rate. 'However, the Watchman requires no monitoring and offers the same protection from stroke as warfarin. For many patients, the risk will be the same as anyone else.
