Your follow-up care often depends on your symptoms and treatments.

You may need more frequent visits with your healthcare provider if you’ve had a catheter ablation or recent surgery to correct atrial fibrillation.

If you take blood-thinning medicines to prevent blood clots, you will also need regular blood tests to ensure you are getting the correct dose. Even if you’re not having symptoms, it is crucial that you follow your treatment plan and attend all scheduled appointments.
