Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) are very common and impact the electrical system, or “wiring,” of the heart muscle. Millions of people will experience an abnormal heart rhythm during their lives.
A Fib is a type of irregular heartbeat affecting about 2.2 million people in the United States. Symptoms of A Fib include shortness of breath and lightheadedness. If left untreated, A Fib can lead to congestive heart failure or stroke.
