What is atrial fibrillation (A-fib)?A-fib is an irregular heartbeat that reduces your heart's ability to pump blood through your body. A-fib may come and go, or it may be a long-term condition. A-fib can cause life-threatening blood clots, stroke, or heart failure. It is important...
Atrial is a fibrillationn irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase your risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. During atrial fibrillation, the heart's two upper chambers (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly — out of coordination with the two ...
Both are problems with your heart's beating. When you haveatrial flutter, your heart beats too fast but still mostly in a regular rhythm. When you have AFib, your heart's rhythm is irregular. Types of Atrial Fibrillation One of the tests you might have for atrial fibrillation, or AFib, ...

Atrial fibrillation, commonly known as A-fib, is a common type of heart arrhythmia heartbeat. Severity can vary greatly depending on the type and cause.
In atrial fibrillation, the signals in the upper chambers of your heart are chaotic. As a result, they quiver. The AV node — the electrical connection between the atria and the ventricles — is bombarded with impulses trying to get through to the ventricles. The ventricles also beat rapidly...
