Atrial Fibrillation (Flutter)
Make an AppointmentAtrial Fibrillation / Flutter: The Irregular Rhythm of the Heart
Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are common cardiac arrhythmias where the heart beats irregularly and often rapidly. These conditions occur when the electrical signals in the heart's upper chambers, the atria, become chaotic.
Understanding the complications & common causes of atrial fibrillation can pave the way for successful management:
- Atrial fibrillation: The most common type of serious arrhythmia, characterised by a rapid, irregular heartbeat. Symptoms may include heart palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
- Atrial flutter: closely related to atrial fibrillation and can often coexist. This condition usually involves a faster but regular heartbeat.
- Both conditions can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.
Managing these conditions typically involves restoring the heart's normal rhythm, controlling the heart rate, and preventing blood clots to reduce the risk of stroke.
Atrial fibrillation and flutter are serious medical conditions. If you have been diagnosed or are experiencing symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Early treatment is associated with better outcomes.
