What Does AF Stand For?
AF stands for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the heart's atria. It can lead to various complications, including an increased risk of stroke and heart-related issues. AF may be paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent and is often associated with underlying heart conditions, hypertension, or other health factors. Effective management may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or procedures such as cardioversion or ablation to restore normal heart rhythm.
