Atrial Fibrillation Overview, Symptoms and Preventions

Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent irregular cardiac rhythm that starts in the atria (AF or AFib). Rather than the SA node (sinus node) directing the electrical rhythm, the atria fire multiple different impulses at the same time, resulting in a very fast, chaotic beat. Because the electrical impulses are so fast and disorganised, the atria cannot efficiently contract and/or squeeze blood into the ventricle.

Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is a kind of arrhythmia (abnormally fast and irregular heartbeat) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. A-fib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related issues. During atrial fibrillation, the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly, out of sync with the lower chambers (the ventricles). Many people with A-fib don't show any signs or symptoms. Palpitations (rapid, pounding heartbeat), shortness of breath, and weakness are all symptoms of A-fib.

 

Feelings of a racing, fluttering, or hammering heart (palpitations)

Pain in the chest

Dizziness

Fatigue

Lightheadedness

Exercise ability is hampered.

Breathing problems

Weakness

Atrial fibrillation can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

On rare occasions (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation). A-fib symptoms come and go, lasting anything from a few minutes to many hours. Symptoms might last up to a week, and bouts can occur multiple times. It's possible that the symptoms will go gone on their own. Some persons who have A-fib on a regular basis require medical attention.

Persistent. The heart rhythm does not return to normal on its own in this type of atrial fibrillation. Cardioversion or pharmacological treatment may be used to restore and maintain a normal heart rhythm in people who have A-fib symptoms.

 

Prevention

Healthy lifestyle choices can help prevent atrial fibrillation and minimise the risk of heart disease. Here are a few fundamental heart-healthy recommendations:

 

Consume a healthy diet.

Maintain a healthy weight by exercising regularly.

Smoking is not permitted.

Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided or limited.

Manage stress, as high levels of anxiety and anger can disrupt heart rhythm.
