Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a fast and irregular heart rhythm that, left untreated, can lead to blood clots, stroke and heart failure. It's the most common type of arrhythmia, a potentially serious condition in which the heart beats too quickly, too slowly or in an irregular pattern.

Four heart rhythm organizations from around the globe developed the statement. It is also published in Heart Rhythm , the official journal of the HRS, Journal of Arrhythmia , the official journal of the APHRS, and Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology , the official journal of the LAHRS.

Atrial fibrillation often shortened to AFib is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to serious health complications. AFib occurs when the electrical signals in the upper chambers of your heart (the atria) become chaotic, causing the chambers to quiver instead of beating effectively.

Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. Patients are often treated with AADs as frontline therapy for heart rhythm maintenance, though some can experience adverse effects and limited efficacy.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia), affecting over 6 million Americans, and the number is expected to double by 2030. If untreated, AFib can lead to or exacerbate heart failure, and it significantly increases a person’s risk of stroke.
