What this condition is
What is an arrhythmia?An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Changes in the electrical signals that control your heartbeat cause arrhythmias.When your heart beats faster than normal, it's called tachycardia.When your heart beats too slowly, it's called bradycardia.When the signal to beat comes too early, it's calle…

Atrial Fibrillation
What is atrial fibrillation (AFib)?Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib or AF, is one of the most common types of arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. They can cause your heart to beat too slowly, too fast, or in an irregular way.If you have AFib, your heart beats irregularly and sometimes much faster than normal. Also, your heart's upper and lower chambers do not work…
