Greater Houston heart and vascular program tackles AFib with cutting-edge treatments
Atrial fibrillation, also called AFib or AF, is the most common type of heart arrhythmia.
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat that can be either too fast or too slow. Blood flows from the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) to the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). With AFib, an irregular heartbeat prevents blood from flowing effectively from the atria to the ventricles, which may lead to blood clots, stroke or heart failure.
If left untreated, AFib can result in stroke, blood … (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Biotechnology headlines)
