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. 1. You can have AFib and not even feel any symptoms "The symptoms of AFib can feel scary and debilitating, or only mild," Engelstein says. These symptoms can include: Palpitations Rumbling or galloping feeling in the chest Lightheadedness Shortness of breath Extreme fatigue Chest pain But some AFib episodes cause no symptoms at all. 2. AFib causes up to one in four strokes, and they're more severe AFib is the culprit in a staggering number of strokes. That's because it can cause blood to pool in the heart's upper chambers and form clots—which may travel to the brain, block the flow of blood and lead to a stroke. 3. Lifestyle changes and medications can help you prevent AFib or manage risk factors Some risk factors for AFib are out of your control, including age, gender or genetics. Age especially can increase risk even in the healthiest people. 4. Treatment options have come a long way, and they keep getting better "Treatment of atrial fibrillation has been rapidly evolving over the past two decades," Engelstein says. "The most effective treatment is catheter ablation, a same-day, minimally invasive procedure that treats the source of AFib in the left upper chamber of the heart." Treatments continue to improve, and many patients who experience AFib can manage the condition to the point where they are able to fully live their lives with very few limitations or restrictions. "Equally important in preventing progression of AFib is managing risk factors if they are present, " Engelstein says. Provided by Rush University Medical Center
