Common heart rhythm problems known as atrial fibrillation (AFib) cause the top chambers (atria) of the heart to beat erratically and out of time with the lower chambers (ventricles). This condition causes an ineffective heart rate, therefore lowering blood flow and raising the risk of heart failure and other consequences.
AFib can be permanent, recurrent, or paroxysmal—that is, infrequent. Among the symptoms are palpitations, vertigo, exhaustion, chest pain, and dyspnoea. Some people, nevertheless, can be asymptomatic, which makes early discovery difficult. Among common causes are thyroid problems, heart illness, high blood pressure, too much alcohol, and stress.
The diagnosis consists of echocardiography, Holter monitoring, and an electrocardiogram (ECG). Control of heart rate, restoration of normal rhythm, and avoidance of blood clots define treatment. Commonly used drugs are beta-blockers, anticoagulants, and antiarrhythmics. Severe circumstances may necessitate pacemaker insertion, catheter ablation, or cardioversion.
Changes in lifestyle, such as a heart-healthy diet, frequent exercise, stress management, and avoidance of stimulants like alcohol and coffee, can effectively manage AFib. Given that AFib greatly raises stroke risk, early medical care is absolutely vital. People with AFIB can lead active, healthy lives with few consequences through appropriate medication and monitoring.
