What is atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (say: ay-tree-all fib-rill-ay-shun) is an irregular heartbeat that may be very fast. Your heart has 4 chambers. The top 2 chambers are called the atria (say: ay-tree-ah). The bottom 2 chambers are called the ventricles (say: ven-trick-ells). In atrial fibrillation, the atria stop beating regularly. Instead, they tremble (fibrillate) in a disorganized way. This can cause an irregular, and sometimes very fast, heartbeat. Return to top
Who is at risk for atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation is most common in people older than 60 years of age. However, you can get atrial fibrillation at any age. Sometimes, atrial fibrillation has no cause, but your risk goes up if you have any of the following:
  • Heart disease caused by high cholesterol A larger heart size caused by high blood pressure Damage to a heart valve An overactive thyroid gland Lung disease Heavy drinking of alcohol Use of certain medicines

Atrial Fibrillation You have been told you have atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an arrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythm, that comes from the upper chambers of the heart. Atrial fibrillation can cause fast heart rates. Heart disease, lung disease, smoking and excessive alcohol and caffeine intake are among the causes of atrial fibrillation. Your heart has an electrical system which causes it to contract and relax. Normally, each heart beat begins as an impulse from a group of cells, called the SA node, located in the upper right chamber of the heart. The electrical impulse travels across both upper chambers, or the atria. The atria then contract. The impulse next travels to the AV node, which is a group of cells located between the atria and the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart.) The impulse then travels through the ventricles, causing them to contract. In atrial fibrillation, many different areas within the atria try to initiate a heart beat. Hundreds of electrical impulses flow across the atria. Instead of contracting, the atria only quiver. This causes the ventricles to contract irregularly and often faster than normal. If the ventricles contract too quickly and the heart beats too fast, you can have symptoms of light headedness, palpitations, or chest pain. You may even lose consciousness. Atrial fibrillation is not a life threatening heart rhythm. In fact, as people get older, their chances of going into this rhythm are quite high. Many people stay in this rhythm for years without suffering any ill effects from it.

Overview Purpose of Evidence Report Reporting the Evidence Methodology ... Availability of Full Report
Overview
Epidemiology
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia physicians face in clinical practice, accounting for about one-third of hospitalizations for arrhythmia. The prevalence of AF is 0.5 percent in those 50 to 59 years old and 8.8 percent in those 80 to 89 years old, and the incidence ranges from 0.2 percent per year in men 30 to 39 years old to 2.3 percent per year in men 80 to 89 years old. The chronic cardiac conditions most commonly associated with the development of AF are:
  • Rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Home Issues Classifieds Contact ... Search PubMed for related articles Editorials Michael J Kilborn MJA The findings of two major trials show that rhythm control is not necessarily superior to rate control There are two broad strategic options in managing recurrent or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). They are:
  • Rhythm control , in which treatment is directed toward restoring and maintaining sinus rhythm; and Rate control , in which AF is allowed to continue or recur unimpeded, and medications are given to control ventricular rate.
It has been a widely held and natural assumption that rate control is inferior to rhythm control. Theoretically, the advantages of maintaining sinus rhythm should include fewer thromboembolic complications, reduced need for anticoagulation, and less cardiac failure. In short, fewer deaths and fewer symptoms. However, antiarrhythmic medications have only modest efficacy for preventing AF recurrences, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, so rate-controlling and anticoagulant drugs must also be used in many patients being treated primarily for rhythm control. Also, antiarrhythmic medications can have serious side effects, including life-threatening proarrhythmia and, in the case of the commonly used drug amiodarone, pulmonary fibrosis, thyroid dysfunction and hepatic toxicity. Until recently, few randomised trial data have been available to gauge the extent to which these practical deficiencies offset the potential benefits of rhythm control. Now, two major trials comparing the two treatment strategies have been published.

Atrial Fibrillation
  • What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info
  • What Is It? Atrial fibrillation is a type of cardiac arrhythmia (abnormality of heart rate or rhythm). Atrial fibrillation produces a rapid and irregular heartbeat, during which the atria (the upper two chambers of the heart that receive blood) quiver or "fibrillate" instead of beating normally.

    You are in: Heart Atrial Fibrillation Overview Atrial fibrillation describes a rapid, irregular heart rhythm. The irregular rhythm, or arrhythmia , results from abnormal electrical impulses in the heart. The irregularity can be continuous, or it can come and go. The heart is a large muscle. Its function is to circulate (pump) blood through the body.
    • The pump works by coordinated contractions of the 2 upper chambers of the heart (the atria) and the 2 lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).
      A heartbeat comprises 2 contractions in quick succession. First, the atria receive blood returning to the heart and pump it into the ventricles; second, the ventricles pump blood out of the heart, either to the lungs to take up fresh oxygen or out into the circulatory system of the body.

At the OSU Heart Center at The Ohio State University Medical Center, a specific group focuses on the conditions that impact the heart’s rhythm and use the latest treatments to manage and even correct arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia. How Your Heart Beats The following electrical heart conduction pathway must be followed to ensure the heart pumps properly:
    • The heartbeat starts in the right atrium when a special group of cells (the sinus node or "pacemaker" of the heart) sends an electrical signal. The signal spreads throughout the atria and to the atrioventricular (A-V) node. The A-V node connects to a group of fibers in the ventricles that conduct the electric signal. The impulse travels down these specialized fibers to all parts of the ventricles.

    Atrial fibrillation
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an electrical rhythm disturbance of the heart affecting the atria . Abnormal electrical impulses in the atria cause the muscle to contract erratically and pump blood inefficiently. The atrial chambers are thus not able to completely empty blood into the ventricles. Pooling of blood in the atria can cause red blood cells to stick together and form a clot . Clots can be released into the circulatory system and lodge in the blood vessels of the brain. Interruption of blood flow to the brain can result in a cerebrovascular accident , more commonly known as a stroke. Patients with severe cases of AF typically take an anticlotting drug such as coumadin to prevent the occurrence of strokes. A type of AF, termed paroxysmal, is when the arrhythmia occurs on an unexpected, intermittent basis. These patients tend to have less heart damage than those with chronic (sustained) AF. edit
    Causes
    AF is an intermediate-phase disease, meaning that the condition usually develops in response to damage to the heart or from other changes in the cardiovascular system. These include: In turn, untreated AF can precipitate further damage to the heart by weakening the muscles of the

    What is atrial fibrillation?
    Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of irregular heartbeat ( arrhythmia ). Normally, your heart's electrical system controls the rhythm at which your heart beats. See illustrations of the heart and its electrical system In atrial fibrillation, abnormal electrical impulses cause the upper chambers of the heart (atria) to fibrillate, or quiver, resulting in irregular and rapid beating of the ventricles , the heart's main pump.

    Managing Atrial Fibrillation in Active Patients and Athletes
    Robert A. Reiss, MD Internal Medicine Series Editor: Donald M. Christie, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 27 - NO. 3 - MARCH 1999 In Brief: Atrial fibrillation in young or middle-aged active patients can often be managed with medication. Evaluation should address associated conditions and predisposing factors such as idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, congenital heart disease, hyperthyroidism, excess alcohol or other drug use, and exercise-induced catecholamine release. Diagnostic studies may include an ECG, 24-hour Holter or event monitoring, exercise treadmill testing, stress echocardiography, electrophysiologic studies, and laboratory testing. Electrocardioversion provides rapid, predictable treatment, but ablation therapy is sometimes needed. A trial fibrillation (AF) is a common supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in the elderly. Its prevalence, estimated to be 2.3% in those over 40, increases to 5.9% in people 65 years and older. Seventy percent of the people who have AF are between 65 and 85 years old (1). Most have hypertension, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure (2,3), or other underlying conditions such as mitral valve disease (4), hyperthyroidism (5), and pulmonary disease. In those under 40, the prevalence of AF is estimated to be less than 0.004% (6), but there is some suggestion that the disorder may be less rare among people who exercise. Paritano and Oriel (7) evaluated 60 asymptomatic, highly trained runners and found one patient who had exercise-induced AF. Coelho et al (8) identified 5 patients who had AF among 19 young athletes (average age, 22) referred for evaluation because of palpitations. Further, paroxysmal AF has also been observed in patients who have otherwise normal hearts after thoracic surgery, acute alcohol intoxication, or exercise (9).
