Heart & Blood Vessels

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm caused by chaotic electrical signals in the atria, the upper chambers of the heart. Instead of contracting normally, the atria quiver, which can lead to poor blood flow and an increased risk of clots and stroke. Symptoms may include palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, or dizziness, though some people may have no symptoms. AFib can be occasional (paroxysmal), persistent, or permanent, and treatment focuses on controlling heart rate, restoring rhythm, and reducing stroke risk with blood thinners.
