Atrial Fibrillation:
AFib is the most common and the most undertreated heart rhythm disorder in America. A significant rapid heart rhythm in the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. When the heart does not contract at a normal rhythm, blood is not pumped completely out of the atria and may pool and clot, which can lead to stroke and heart failure.
Affecting more than 3.5 million and expected to double by 2035 due to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Fibrillation of the muscles of the atria of the heart.
