Analysis of atrial fibrillation disease and its causes, symptoms and treatment

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) that can be associated with serious complications such as stroke. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the relatively common cardiac arrhythmias in which the normal heart contraction rhythm is disturbed and the heartbeat changes from a regular and sinusoidal state to an irregular rhythm with a variable heart rate. This disease is more common in people who have a history of heart disease, diseases such as stenosis or insufficiency of heart valves, ischemic diseases and heart failure. Of course, there are people who have atrial fibrillation without a known heart disease. Due to the increasing prevalence of this arrhythmia, especially due to the increase in human lifespan, its complications appear more and nowadays atrial fibrillation and its complications are considered one of the major health and treatment issues of countries. The danger of this irregular rhythm is the increased possibility of blood clots and further stroke, heart failure and other complications related to the heart. The cause of clot formation in atrial fibrillation is that not enough blood is pumped by the atria, so blood collects in the atria and may clot. In this article, we are going to further investigate this disease, its causes, ways of prevention and related treatments, and risk factors for atrial fibrillation.
