Adults with congenital heart diseaseAtrial fibrillationAtrial fibrillation ablationOral anticoagulationPulmonary vein isolationAF ablation in ACHD patients is feasible and safe regardless of CHD complexity. Success rates in patients with paroxysmal AF are high and comparable to patients without CHD. In AC...
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a heart rhythm abnormality caused by a problem with your heart's electrical system. Normally, your heart's electricity flows from the top chambers (atria) to the bottom chambers (ventricles), causing a normal contraction. In atrial fibrillation, the electrical flow ...
Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that causes a rapid and irregular heartbeat.The heart is a muscle that has four chambers through which blood flows. The two upper chambers are the atria. The two lower chambers are the ventricles....
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm caused by erratic electrical signals in the heart. Atrial fibrillation is a progressive disease that worsens.
Age.The older you are, the greater your risk of developing atrial fibrillation. Heart disease.Anyone with heart disease — such as heart valve problems, congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, or a history of heart attack or heart surgery — has an increased...

Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for stroke. About 15 percent of all people who have strokes have AFib. Because of the irregular and chaotic flow of blood through the heart, small blood clots can form in the heart chambers when you have atrial fibrillation. These clots can travel through...
Atrial fibrillation ( AF or Afib ) is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind of arrhythmia. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses. There are many conditions that can cause AF , usually damage to the heart (e.g., corona...
a faster heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation decreases the efficiency of the pumping action of the heart. It also increases the risk of formation of blood clots inside the heart. These blood clots can break off and go to other parts of the body, including the brain where they can cause a ...
