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., ...
Atrial fibrillation (AFIB), heart condition associated with increased risk of stroke, dementia, heart failure, and mortality, is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. The problem of diagnosis is very often paroxysmal in the first stages of the disease. These challenges are met by solutions using ...

This channel includes news and new technology innovations for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, also referred to as AF or afib. AF is a cardiac arrhythmia caused by irregular and often rapid heart rate. It is caused by the upper chambers (the atria)
AtriCure provides innovative atrial fibrillation (Afib) treatment solutions, including the AtriClip device for LAAM and other surgical ablation therapies.

Atrial fibrillation (Afib) and ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) are both a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Atrial fibrillation is caused by irregular electrical impulses in the atria and ventricular fibrillation is caused by irregular electric
However, because the early episodes of AFib are temporary, signs of AFib may not be recorded during a doctor’s visit. A normal Sinus Rhythm Atrial fibrillation Learn more about ECG Recording How should AFib be treated? The treatment goals for AFib are to reset the heart’s rhythm and preve...
Atrial fibrillation ECG Atrial Fibrillation ECG Wave Strip Pattern AFib shows irregular P wave patterns (the small “spike” just before the QRS or big spike pattern), which indicates irregular atrial contractions interrupted by QRS patterns (heartbeats or effective ventricular cardiac blood pumping). ...
Preventing the recurrence of atrial fibrillation with AFib medications. Using procedures (for example, pacemakers, defibrillators, surgery) to prevent episodes of the disease. However, each individual is unique, so the treatments vary depending on the patient’s medical condition (for example, the pr...
