Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm caused by extremely rapid and chaotic electrical impulses originating in the heart's atria (the two upper cardiac chambers). While atrial fibrillation is not itself life-threatening, it often causes significant symptoms, including palpitations, shortness ...
Control your heartbeat when you are resting but not during activity (digoxin), often used with another drug. Manage your heart's rate and rhythm (antiarrhythmics), though these are used rarely because of side effects. Medical procedures
AFib medications may include blood thinners, drugs to control heart rate or convert the heart to a normal rhythm. AFib surgery is also a treatment possibility. Can Atrial Fibrillation Go Away? Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the heart beats irregularly and rapidly. Rarely, atrial ...
When you have this condition, faulty electrical signals make your heart flutter or beat too fast. This abnormal rhythm stops your heart from pumping as well as it should. Your blood flow can slow enough to pool and form clots. AFib raises your chances for a stroke and otherheart problems. ...
anti-clotting medications to help prevent the risk of stroke. Medications that control the rate that your heart beats keep the heart from beating too fast. Some medications are specifically designed to control the electrical rhythm of the heart, keeping it from becoming more irregular and chaotic....

Rhythm control at 24 hours: 10.7% for placebo, 22.9% for low-dose, 13.0% for high-dose Statistically significant between low-dose group and placebo (p=0.005) Statistically significant between low-dose group and high-dose group (p=0.03) ...
Rate control strategy uses oral anticoagulants along with AV nodal slowing agents to control the rate at which the heart contracts. Antiarrhythmic drugs together with cardioversion and oral anticoagulants are used in the rhythm control strategy. ...

Two EKG nodes recorded at a rate of 250 Hz and registered upwards of 9 million individual signals each, totaling over 18 million signals per subject. The location of the R peaks for each beat and the labels for each rhythm were obtained. Once the R peaks were determined, the R-R ...
