Atrial Fibrillation also known as AFIB is when the heart develops an irregular and often rapid heartbeat. The heart normally contracts and relaxes to a regular beat but with atrial fibrillation, the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat irregularly (quiver) instead of beating effectively to move blood into the ventricles. AFIB is a serious condition which can increase a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart related issues.
