The Condition Of Atrial Fibrillation Causes Quivering Or Irregular Heartbeats That Can Lead To Blood Clots, Strokes, Heart Failure, And Other Complications Related To The Heart

Although it can happen in otherwise healthy hearts, Atrial Fibrillation is associated with a number of cardiovascular diseases. High blood pressure, coronary artery disease, mitral valve stenosis (caused, for example, by rheumatic heart disease or mitral valve prolapse), mitral regurgitation, left atrial enlargement, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), pericarditis, congenital heart disease, and prior heart surgery are among the cardiovascular conditions known to be linked to the development of Atrial Fibrillation.


A 20-year-old adult with congenital heart disease has a comparable lifetime risk of acquiring atrial fibrillation to a 55-year-old adult without a history of congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease is a significant risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is more likely to be of right atrial origin (atypical) than of left atrial origin, start at an earlier age, and progress to permanent atrial fibrillation in those with congenital heart disease.


Although the majority of occurrences of Atrial Fibrillation are due to other medical conditions, an underlying cause may be present if there is chest discomfort or angina, hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland) symptoms like weight loss and diarrhoea, or lung disease symptoms. Someone with AF may be more susceptible to problems if they have a history of heart failure, rheumatic fever, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
