Atrial fibrillation (also referred to as AFib, Afib, A-fib, and AF) is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm; the two upper chambers (atria) beat out of coordination with the ventricles (lower chambers). The irregular rhythm, or arrhythmia, results from abnormal electrical impulses in th...
Normally, the top part of your heart (the atria) squeezes first, then the bottom part (the ventricles). The problem starts in the upper part of your heart. The timing of these contractions is what moves the blood. When you have AFib, the electrical signals that control this process go ...
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of heart disorder that can cause an abnormally high heart rate. The best type of treatment that is recommended for a patient is based on their symptoms. Treatment options of AFib include lifestyle changes, medications
“With this approval, we are excited to bring the VARIPULSE™ Platform to electrophysiologists and patients in the U.S., where AFib impacts nearly eight million people,” said Jasmina Brooks, President, Electrophysiology,Johnson & ...
Totality of Evidence Demonstrates 60.5-88% Freedom from Atrial Arrhythmias and Reduced AF Burden Among More Than 1,400 Advanced Afib* Patients Studied *Defined as persistent or long-standing persistent Afib Hybrid Convergent Demonstrates Improved AF-Free Survival7 ...
Electrical cardioversion.While you are under sedation, your doctor will shock your heart with a jolt of electricity. This briefly stops your heart’s electrical activity in order to end an episode of Afib. You may require an anticoagulant in the weeks before and after the procedure. This cuts...

you may feel a "fluttering" sensation. When atrial fibrillation is new in onset or poorly controlled by medications, you will often feel your heart racing. This rapid, abnormal heart rate can be dangerous if not treated and controlled quickly. With AFib, heart rate is so fast and irregular,...

"We have begun training AI tools using this data, collected from past clinical care of kids, to determine better predictors of firstseizureonset and the impact of treating patients before symptoms appear," Dr. Ou said. "Our AI methods can help clinicians determine the best course of treatment...
