Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a chaotic arrhythmia where the heart's upper chambers (atria) quiver or fibrillate instead of contracting normally. This can cause blood to pool in the atria, increasing the risk of blood clots forming. These clots can then travel to other parts of the body, causing a stroke or other complications. In fact, AFib is a major cause of stroke in the United States. Therefore, it is important to manage AFib with medication or other interventions to reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke.
