What is atrial fibrillation

Patient's question:

I don't quite understand the condition of atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia. I'd like to ask what atrial fibrillation is like? What causes it? Is it because our pulse is greater than our heart rate?

Doctor's answer:

No, patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation have the following characteristics: the intensity of the second heart sound is variable, the heart rate is extremely irregular, and when the ventricular rate is fast, recurrent short can occur. Therefore, when people experience recurrent atrial fibrillation, the pulse and heart rate are different. Generally, the phenomenon of heart rate being greater than the pulse tends to recur, while it is generally never the case that the pulse is greater than the heart rate. Rest regularly.
