Is Pacemaker helpful for my Atrial Fibrillation

Pacemakers are used for slow heart rhythms. So often the need for a pacemaker is for where this heart slows down too much and a pacemaker is a device which is implanted at the top the chest with leads and wires which go through a vein into the heart. When it detects the heart slowed down too much or to dangerous levels the pacemaker provides the electrical stimulation without the patient knowing about it to ensure the heart doesn't slow down too much. Generally in atrial fibrillation the heart rate goes too fast and hence a pacemaker is not appropriate in these situations. The management of atrial fibrillation is generally to try and slow down the heart to get the heart rate to normal levels and that's done with medication. Now a pacemaker therefore is not usually needed for atrial fibrillation. However, there are certain circumstances where the heart rate may slow down too much in atrial fibrillation and a pacemaker may be appropriate in that stage. But in general, atrial fibrillation is fast heart rates in general rather than slower heart rates.
