Atrial Fibrillation
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disturbance in which the upper chambers of the heart beat rapidly and irregularly. It is one of the most frequent arrhythmias and may go unnoticed or be clearly felt.
Frequent symptoms: palpitations, a sensation of irregular beats, fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath; some people have no symptoms.
Why does it matter to have it evaluated? Because it alters blood flow in the heart, it is advisable for a professional to assess its impact and the associated factors.
Which specialist handles it? The cardiologist is the one who studies the heart rhythm and guides follow-up. If you notice irregular beats recurrently, scheduling a consultation is a recommended step.
