Atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (arrhythmia) is a heart rhythm disorder in which the heart contracts at an abnormal rhythm. This is one of the most common types of arrhythmia. During atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibers are ineffectively excited or replace each other, resulting in an abnormal heart rhythm.

The causes of flickering can be different: heart disease, chronic respiratory pathologies, stress, excess weight, poisoning and others.

Flickering can be determined by tachycardia. It occurs more often than 90 beats per minute and may be accompanied by a weak and infrequent pulse. The heart appears excited and “flickering”, the beat is uneven and uneven, and the fingers no longer feel the rhythmic beat. When ventricular fibrillation occurs, a person experiences a sensation of heart sinking, “stopping” breathing.

Atrial rhythm arrhythmia is a medical emergency. Alarming symptoms require immediate medical attention.

The doctor may use electrical stimulation. Electrical signals can replace the natural electrical activity of the atrium. A pacemaker is used for this. This method is usually used for severe atrial fibrillation and irregular heartbeat. In this case, the doctor uses electrical impulses to achieve more effective contraction of the atrium and prevent fibrillation.

There are other treatments for ventricular fibrillation. In particular, the doctor may suggest that the patient undergo regular therapy to combat arrhythmia and install a permanent implantable defibrillator. Treatment for atrial fibrillation is a complex process that can take several weeks or months. If treatment does not help, then the cause of the arrhythmia is serious heart problems.
