Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis And Treatment

Atrial fibrillation (afib) is a common type of cardiac arrhythmia seen in the adult population. The abnormal rhythm originates in the right atrium causing it to beat irregularly. The ventricles will contract irregularly as well, although not as fast as the atria. When this occurs, patients may experience some chest discomfort, although many times it occurs asymptomatically. The pulse that is palpated in a patient with afib is termed irregularly, irregular. The electrocardiogram (ECG) of a patient with afib will show an irregularly, irregular rhythm. Afib has many possible causes; the most common are hypertension and coronary atherosclerosis. Any pathology that damages atrial tissue or causes atrial enlargement can lead to afib.

The right name should be invasion because that is what Candida Albicans does once it starts replicating and spreading.
