Condition

Atrial fibrillation

An irregular, often rapid heart rhythm that raises the risk of stroke and heart failure.

Affects Heart

See a clinician

Some causes of atrial fibrillation need medical care, not self-treatment. Seek help for any of these:

  • Chest pain, severe breathlessness, or fainting — call emergency services.
  • Stroke signs (face droop, arm weakness, speech difficulty) — emergency.
  • A new irregular or racing pulse needs medical assessment and stroke-risk review.
