What does increased heart rate with atrial fibrillation indicate?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac rhythm abnormality that occurs in cardiac as well as noncardiac illnesses. In this, the atria of the heart do not contract, instead, these fibrillate. The risk of stroke is high in atrial fibrillation. Abnormal R wave progression can occur in case of a dilated heart, incorrectly placed chest leads, etc. Late transition is the same. Please send the ECG strip and echocardiography report so that I can guide you accordingly.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation depends upon certain risk factors in the patient, these include age of more than 65 years, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and previous history of stroke or heart attack. These are the technical terms of ECG (electrocardiogram). The left anterior fascicular block is certain pathways of the heart's electrical conduction are blocked or slow. In repolarization abnormality, there are two phases on a molecular level, depolarization, and repolarization. Depolarization causes the heart to contract and repolarization causes relaxation. A prolonged PR interval means the current is slow in the conduction pathway from the atria to the ventricles. Sinus rhythm is the normal rhythm of the heart.

Thank you.
