Atrial Fibrillation can lead to various complications if not managed properly. Here's what you need to know:
A Fib is characterized by a rapid and irregular heartbeat, where the heart's upper chambers (atria) beat chaotically and out of sync with the lower chambers (ventricles). This differs from a regular, rhythmic heartbeat.
Certain factors can trigger A Fib episodes, including high blood pressure, heart valve disease, excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption, certain medications, and underlying heart defects or damage.
While A Fib isn't typically life-threatening, it can lead to severe complications such as stroke or heart failure if not managed. It's essential to seek treatment and regularly monitor the condition.
