Welcome to Atrial Fibrillation

-  the website that explains the most common heart rhythm irregularity.

Atrial fibrillation is found in more than 2 million Americans and many hundreds of people are diagonosed with atrial fibrillation a year. Atrial fibrillation is among the most common heart rhythm irregularity. Many people who have atrial fibrillation don't even know that they have atrial fibrillation.

This website starts with what atrial fibrillation is, the symptoms of atrial fibrillation, and atrial fibrillation treatment. When atrial fibrillation occurs, the blood pools in the heart chambers (or the atria) causing blood clots. Although, atrial fibrillation is often not fatal, it can cause other fatal problems such as a stroke, heart attack,  and heart failure.

Medications is a common of atrial fibrillation treatment. There are other methods of atrial fibrillation treatment. If medications and the use of drugs are ineffective, the atrial fibrillation patient can choose to undergo a catheter ablation of the arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythms).

The website also discusses cholesterol and high blood pressure. High cholesterol in the blood can lead to heart disease. High blood pressure can cause a stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure.
