Early Onset Atrial Fibrillation

Vanderbilt is consistently ranked among the nation’s best by leading authorities on health care quality. People from throughout the Southeast and across the country rely on us for the best and most innovative care possible. 

Our team members are leading experts in atrial fibrillation care. As one of the busiest heart programs in the U.S., we have more experience than most. We welcome patients with even the most complex cases of atrial fibrillation, including those for whom prior treatment hasn’t been successful.

We work together to ensure that you receive the comprehensive care you need. Your care team may include physicians, nurse practitioners, genetic counselors, health and wellness coaches, research nurses, and other team members. We also work with experts in other medical disciplines to tackle tough cases and provide you with individual care for your unique needs. 

Our team includes one of the only cardiovascular genetic counselors in the region. A genetic counselor can help you understand the cause of your atrial fibrillation and who else in the family is at risk. Genetic testing may also help decide what treatment will work best and what type of screening is most useful for you and your family. 

We tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs and health goals. We help you navigate your treatment options to ensure you receive the best possible care.

As part of an academic medical center, we offer access to some of the most promising new approaches being tested in clinical trials. Our team has multiple ongoing studies to better understand and treat early onset AFib. Find a clinical trial.
