心房颤动 Atrial Fibrillation ( AF / A-fib)


心室顫動 Ventricular Fibrillation ( VF / V-fib )

AFib is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke and other heart-related complications.

Atrial fibrillation (AF or A-fib) is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating.

atrial fibrillation (A fib), a rapid, irregular heart rhythm with symptoms like heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath

atrial fibrillation (AFib, AF) symptoms like dizziness, fainting, weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has strong associations with other
cardiovascular diseases, such as
heart failure,
coronary artery disease (CAD),
valvular heart disease,
diabetes mellitus, and
hypertension.

Catecholamine excess,
hemodynamic stress,
atrial ischemia,
atrial inflammation,
metabolic stress, and
neurohumoral cascade activation
are all purported to promote AF.

Atrial flutter (AFL) is an abnormal heart rhythm that occurs in the atria of the heart.[1] When it first occurs, it is usually associated with a fast heart rate or tachycardia (beats over 100 per minute),[2] and falls into the category of supra-ventricular tachycardias. While this rhythm occurs most often in individuals with cardiovascular disease (e.g. hypertension, coronary artery disease, and cardiomyopathy) and diabetes, it may occur spontaneously in people with otherwise normal hearts. It is typically not a stable rhythm, and frequently degenerates into atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it does rarely persist for months to years.
