Corview screenshot Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac rhythm disturbance in which the atria, the upper chambers of the heart, undergo uncontrolled and uncoordinated electrical activation so that contraction of the atria contributes almost nothing to cardiac output. While not immediately atal (as is ventricular fibrillation) AF dramatically increases the risk of stroke, elevates mortality, […]
