Atrial Fibrillation

Functional testing may help identify the factors contributing to atrial fibrillation. It may include:⁠ ⁠

  • Inflammatory markers such as High Sensitivity C-reactive protein⁠ Blood glucose
  • Blood lipids markers⁠
  • Food sensitivities⁠
  • Pathogens such as H.Pylori⁠
  • Thyroid testing⁠
  • Gut health testing (comprehensive)⁠
  • Toxic load assessment, e.g. heavy metals⁠ ⁠

These tests can be the difference in getting to the root cause and restoring balanced cardiac function.
