2.3. What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)?
Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat. Certain cells in
your heart produce electrical signals that cause the heart to contract and
pump blood. Atrial fibrillation occurs when rapid, disorganized electrical
signals are present in the heart’s two upper chambers, called the atria; causing
them to contract quickly and irregularly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial
fibrillation is the most common form of heart arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat.
You can live with atrial fibrillation, but it can lead to other rhythm problems,
chronic fatigue, heart failure and - worst of all – a stroke.
