A better treatment for arterial fibulation than warferin?
Answer: If you mean atrial fibrillation, it can also be treated with digoxin and/or a pacemaker. I'm sure your GP or cardiologist have considered the options and found warfarin to be the most appropriate.

Defibrilators can be used in the first 24 hours. After that various other treatnments can be used depending on the specific details of your shield. Once the atrial fib is under control, you might be able to stop the warfarin, but some empire need to continue next to it.
Do not discontinue warfarin without your doctor's knowledge..
