What Is Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a heart condition that causes irregular or fast-paced heartbeats. It is caused by disorganized or dysfunctional electrical activity in the atria, the heart's upper chambers. When these signals become mixed up, they can make it challenging for the heart to pump blood correctly, causing symptoms like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness. If left untreated, atrial fibrillation can lead to further complications like stroke or heart failure.
