Atrial fibrillation is when the upper two heart chambers (atria) beat very rapidly and not in coordination with the lower two chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The symptoms of atrial fibrillation are palpitations, dizziness, sweating, shortness of breath, tiredness, etc. It increases one's risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart problems.
Atrial Flutter vs Atrial Fibrillation: Key Differences
Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation cause fast, irregular heart rhythms and raise stroke risk. Learn how they differ, their symptoms, and treatments.
Edoxaban for Thromboprophylaxis in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation: A Comprehensive Overview
Edoxaban is a thromboprophylaxis in non-valvular (unrelated to heart valves) atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Read to know more about it.
Plasma Cortisol and Atrial Fibrillation - Risk Factors
Patients with elevated plasma cortisol levels (Cushing syndrome) frequently experience atrial fibrillation, cardiac arrhythmias, and associated risk factors.

Risks in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation for Females - Risks and Management
Compared to men, women with atrial fibrillation tend to face adverse complications and have poor cardiovascular outcomes. Read the article to know more.
Sweetened Drinks and Atrial Fibrillation: Exploring the Link
A recent study found that drinking sweetened drinks can increase the risk of getting atrial fibrillation (a heart condition). To know more, read further.
Benefits and Risks of Blood Thinners for Preventing Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation
Blood thinner are antiplatelets or anticoagulants that prevent the formation of blood clots, which leads to stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Atrial Fibrillation and Exercise - Finding the Right Balance for Cardiovascular Health
Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder linked with a high chance of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications.
