Help please! is artrial fibrillation a heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atrial Fib (AF) : Af is a heart disease related to an abnormality in the electrical system. It may be due to other underlying heart issues - weakening of the heart muscle, valve problems, sleep apnea, or coronary artery disease. Young people with normal hearts have what is called lone af - an abnormal electrical area in the heart that leads to af. Talk to your md about medical or ablation therapy.
