Atrial Fibrillation / Flutter: The Irregular Rhythm of the Heart

Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are common cardiac arrhythmias where the heart beats irregularly and often rapidly. These conditions occur when the electrical signals in the heart's upper chambers, the atria, become chaotic.

Understanding the complications & common causes of atrial fibrillation can pave the way for successful management:

Atrial fibrillation, the most common type of serious arrhythmia, is characterised by a rapid, irregular heartbeat. This can lead to symptoms such as heart palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
Atrial flutter is closely related to atrial fibrillation and can often coexist. This condition usually involves a faster but regular heartbeat.
Both disorders can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.

Managing these conditions typically involves restoring the heart's normal rhythm or controlling the heart rate and preventing blood clots, reducing the risk of stroke.

Atrial fibrillation and flutter are serious medical conditions. If you have been diagnosed or are experiencing symptoms that suggest their presence, it is essential to seek medical attention. Research and data show that early treatment confers better outcomes.
