Atrial Fibrillation
What is Atrial Fibrillation and what does it have to do with the heart?
It is an abnormal heart beat. I work in the electrical field and this is one of the things that can happen when a person receives a slight electrical shock. Many things can cause it though.
I know its dangerous and should be treated ASAP. It can result in the heart being unable to effectively pump blood through out the body.
One small alcoholic drink a day is linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. A study of nearly 108,000 people has found that people who regularly drink a modest amount of alcohol are at increased risk of atrial fibrillation, a condition where the heart beats in an abnormal rhythm. The study found that, compared to drinking no alcohol at all, just one alcoholic drink a day was linked to a 16% increased risk of atrial fibrillation over an average follow-up time of nearly 14 years.
