What is atrial fibrillation?
According to the Mayo Clinic, atrial fibrillation is a form of heart palpitation that occurs when the two upper chambers of the heart, known as the left and right atria beat fast and irregularly.
The fast and irregular beating lacks normal coordination with the lower chambers of the heart called the left and right ventricles. This impedes the ability of the heart to effectively pump blood.
Patients with atrial fibrillation experience general discomfort, shortness of breath, weakness, lightheadedness, dizziness, and sometimes chest pain.
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other serious cardiovascular conditions.
Atrial fibrillation can also cause blood clots in the heart that circulate to other organs of the body where they obstruct blood flow — a condition known as ischemia.
