A kind of arrhythmia, Atrial Fibrillation (A-fib) is an unsteady heartbeat. It may stop the blood flow, resulting in palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Blood clots and stroke risk are both increased by A-fib. When it does, a person may feel palpitations, chest pain or discomfort, and lightheadedness. It does not always cause symptoms. The most frequent clinical arrhythmia in the world is A-fib. It may affect up to 3% of Western adults aged 20 and older, according to estimates.
Atrial Fibrillation risk rises with ageing, yet it can also strike young people. The heart may beat much quicker than usual in people with Atrial Fibrillation, and the heart may also have trouble effectively pumping blood throughout the body. Blood may pool or gather in the heart, which increases the risk of clotting. Two upper chambers, known as the atria, and two lower chambers, known as the ventricles, make up the four chambers that make up the human heart. Blood is pumped from the atria into the ventricles and then from the ventricles around the body every time the heart beats. Each beating moves downward from the top of the heart to the bottom. Electrical impulses coordinate the blood flow between the heart's chambers and regulate the heart's rate of beat.
