What is atrial fibrillation and can it develop in people under the age of 50?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm that can result in poor end organ perfusion and increase the propensity of having blood clots in the brain causing strokes. It can affect any person at any age, much more common in 50’s and over.
