A member asked:
What does that mean articular-sided fibrillation mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atrial fibrillation : It means the 2 top chambers of the heart do not squeeze in a coordinated fashion but instead jitter or jiggle because of a storm of electrical impulses in the top. It is not usually life-threatening but is inefficient and should be treated.
