Atrial fibrillation


Atrial fibrillation describes an irregular heartbeat, and often faster. The irregular rhythm, or arrhythmias, abnormal electrical impulses in the heart. The irregularity can be continuous or may come and go.

Normal heart contractions begin an electrical pulse in the right atrium. This impulse comes from a region of the atrium called the sinoatrial (SA) or within the "natural pacemaker."
