About Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial brillation is a common heart rhythm
problem. It affects more than 2 million people in
North America. It is more common in older age and
it is found in 10% of people over 80 years old. It is a
common cause of major strokes. About 15% of all
strokes are caused by atrial brillation.
The elderly, or those with high blood pressure,
diabetes or heart disease are more likely to get a
stroke if they have atrial brillation.
Atrial brillation is a rhythm problem that can last
from a few minutes, too days or weeks and even
years. Atrial brillation can cause blood clots in the
upper chambers of the heart (the atria). These clots
can break off and ow to the brain causing a stroke.
The use of blood thinners, such as warfarin, can
lower the risk of a stroke in patients with atrial
brillation.
A doctor can conrm the presence of Ab by using
an ECG. Sometimes Ab is present incidentally.
Therefore, a doctor may not see it on regularly
scheduled visits.
One method of detecting Ab is by mean of
palpations. This method is not very reliable. Failure
of detecting Ab may lead to the occurrence of a
stoke in the end; whereas early detection may lead
to early treatment that can signicantly reduce the
chances of a stroke.
