During AFib Awareness Month in 2018, Dr. Nav Sawney, Dr. Andrew Chen, and Dr. Young Lee discussed Atrial Fibrillation via Facebook Live on Facebook.com/GetSmartAboutAFib. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. During AFib, the upper chambers of your heart, the atria, beat rapidly or in an uncontrolled manner, which can feel like a flutter. When your heart beats erratically, it does not pump blood as efficiently as it should. You may feel ill or experience other AFib symptoms because oxygen isn’t being properly delivered to all parts of your body. Awareness of treatment options for Atrial Fibrillation is insufficient with patients often under-diagnosed and/or referred too late. For more information, visit GetSmartAboutAfib.com.
