Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is characterized by chaotic electrical signals in the heart that cause the upper chambers (atria) to
quiver. It is the most common type of sustained irregular heart rhythm, and while it is not usually life threatening on
its own, it can have deadly complications. Atrial fibrillation can disturb smooth blood flow, increasing the risk of
clots that can cause organ damage or stroke. The heart's ability to pump blood can also deteriorate, leading to
heart failure. The most common causes of atrial fibrillation are heart abnormalities and heart muscle damage, but
in at least 10 percent of cases there is no underlying heart disease that explains the condition.

Other Medical Conditions
If you have a history of heart disease (including heart valve problems or a history of heart attack or surgery) your
health care provider may work with you to manage these diseases to lower your risk for atrial fibrillation. Other
medical problems, such as hyperthyroidism and sleep apnea, can also increase your risk for atrial fibrillation.
Medications and Treatment
If you have atrial fibrillation, your health care provider may prescribe medications that help control your heart rate
and/or rhythm, or to prevent blood clots. If your atrial fibrillation cannot be controlled by medications, your health
care provider may suggest a surgical procedure as treatment.
Lifestyle Factors
Eat healthy: A healthy diet will help keep your heart healthy, even if you have no underlying cardiovascular
disease. The American Heart Association has numerous resources and tools to help you make smart
choices.
Consume in moderation: Heavy drinking has been associated with increased risk for atrial fibrillation.

Screening and Risk Assessment
Regular eye exams can help detect AMD early. Some websites have tools that can be used to check for macular
degeneration. These tools do not replace an eye exam with a physician.
Lifestyle Factors
Eat fruits and vegetables: Having a diet rich in fresh fruits and dark green, leafy vegetables may delay or
reduce the severity of AMD.
Eat fish and nuts: Eating fatty fish such as salmon, tuna or mackerel two to three times per week has been
shown to slow the progression of AMD. Nuts, which contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, also contain copper,
which may play a role in preventing age-related eye diseases.
Avoid red meat: People who consume red meat 10 times per week or more have a 47% higher risk for
AMD.
Don't smoke: Smokers have two to three times increased risk for AMD compared to those who've never lit
up.

Reduced ability to break down acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol and cigarette
smoke. As a result, you are likely to have increased odds of esophageal cancer, especially if
you drink or smoke.

Additional Information
Genetic Details
The body normally converts acetaldehyde into a harmless substance called acetate. Mutations in the ALDH2
gene, which encodes the ALDH2 enzyme, can block this process, leading to a buildup of the toxic compound
and the "alcohol flush" reaction often seen in people with east Asian ancestry. This variant is associated with five
to nearly 200 times increased risk of esophageal cancer in people who smoke or drink alcohol. The ALDH2*2
variant has only been seen in individuals with East Asian ancestry. Read more about the genetics.
Symptoms
One effect of the ALDH2*2 mutation is the "alcohol flush" reactionred face, nausea, and rapid heartbeat
experienced when drinking alcohol. People with one copy of the mutation have moderate reactions and thus
often still drink; however, people with two copies cant break down acetaldehyde at all and even a tiny amount of
alcohol causes an extreme reaction.

Other Risk Factors
Many other clinical and demographic factors affect the optimal warfarin dose for an individual, including age,
sex, weight, alcohol consumption, smoking status, ethnicity, vitamin K intake, and other medications. Other
genetic variations in other genes (not reported here) can also impact a persons response to warfarin. Only a
medical professional can determine the optimal dose for an individual.
Medications and Treatment
Warfarin can interact with other medications, including some antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
some antidepressants, cholesterol medications, and chemotherapy drugs. If you are taking one of these drugs,
your health care provider can help devise appropriate treatment plans.
