Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/03/2015 -- According to the NHLBI of the NIH in the US, atrial fibrillation is one of the commonest type of arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation is similar to another type of arrhythmia of the heart, superventricular tachycardia. The chief difference between these two types of arrhythmia is the consistency of the beats. In superventricular tachycardia, the heart beats are regular and at a very fast pace. Patients with atrial fibrillation experience fast and irregular heartbeats. In patients with atrial fibrillation, electrical signals travel rapidly in an uncontrolled way, which causes convulsion, palpitation or contraction in the atria of the heart. Blood is accumulated inside the atrial chambers, instead of flowing to the ventricular chambers. In this case, blood is not pumped into the ventricles fully. Also, the quantity of blood pumped out of the ventricles to the body is irregular and centered on the arbitrary atrial strokes. This can lead to the formation of blood clot in the atria. Stroke occurs in case the clot moves to the brain, which can cause death of an individual. In atrial fibrillation, the ventricles might beat for 100 to 175 times per minute, which is a stark contrast to the normal heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation is more common in older people and is detected using an ECG reading to find out the abnormalities of the electric signal. Some of the symptoms of atrial fibrillation are rapid and irregular heartbeat, palpitations, dizziness, sweating, chest pain, breathlessness, fatigue, and sometimes loss of consciousness.
