Further information
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia - heart rhythm disturbance. It occurs when chaotic electrical activity develops in the upper chambers of the heart (the atria). As a result, the atria no longer beat in an organised, regular rhythm, so the patient's pulse is irregular and as a result, the pumping of the heart is less efficient. Across the UK approximately 1.2 million people suffer with Atrial Fibrillation.
