Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation (AF), the chaotic and disorganized activity of the upper chambers of the heart, is the most common cardiac rhythm disturbance. It affects approximately 1% of the US population, or almost three million people. It occurs more frequently in the aged, affecting about 5% of people over 70 and as many as 10% of people over the age of 80. AF is also considered to… View more
