tachyarrhythmic atrial fibrillation

(Afib or AF) is a type of irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).

A racing heart rate is known as tachycardia. If it is fast and an arrhythmia, it is called tachyarrhythmia and it can be a potentially serious medical problem.

Atrial tachycardia (AT) is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when the electrical signal that controls the heartbeat starts from an unusual location in the upper chambers (atria) and rapidly repeats, causing the atria to beat too quickly
