2. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

   As atrial fibrillation becomes more persistent, the junction between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium becomes less of an initiator and the left atrium becomes an independent source of arrhythmias. [18] High blood pressure and valvular heart disease are the most common modifiable risk factors for AF.

3. Management of atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_atrial...

   The management of atrial fibrillation (AF) is focused on preventing temporary circulatory instability, stroke and other ischemic events. Control of heart rate and rhythm are principally used to achieve the former, while anticoagulation may be employed to decrease the risk of stroke. [ 1] Within the context of stroke, the discipline may be ...

   The types of SVT associated with TIC include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, incessant atrial tachycardia, permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia, atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia, and atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia. [1] Atrial fibrillation is the most common and well-studied etiology of TIC. [1] [5]

   Atrial Fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) occurs when the heart's upper chambers (the atria) beat irregularly, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood out. ... Managing chronic ...

7. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   Catheter ablation may be recommended for a recurrent or persistent arrhythmia resulting in symptoms or other dysfunction. Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [1]
