A member asked:
Can atrial fibrillation damage the coronary arterys?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No, but if you have coronary artery disease, the rapid heart rates often seen with atrial fibrillation can exacerbate angina and low blood flow to the coronary arteries (coronary ischemia.).
