What is Atrial Fibrillation (Afib or AF) ?

In this video, we briefly discuss the AFib diagnosis, complications and treatments.

Atrial fibrillation, also called AFib or AF, is a fast and irregular heartbeat that causes the upper chambers of your heart (atria) to quiver. When this happens, your heart can no longer pump sufficient oxygenated blood to meet the needs of all the organs and tissues in your body.

AFib, the most common chronic heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia), has become a global public health problem. This condition affects between 2.7 and 6.1 million people in the United States, as estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 30 million people worldwide are living with AFib.

If untreated, Afib can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure.
