Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart condition where the upper chambers of the heart, called the atria, beat irregularly and often rapidly. This chaotic heartbeat can lead to poor blood flow and increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart-related complications. People with AF might experience symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, or fatigue, but some may have no noticeable symptoms. Treatment often includes medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures to restore a normal heart rhythm. Managing AF is important for overall heart health and reducing risks associated with the condition.
