Is atrial fibrillation a serious heart disease?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, is atrial fibrillation and heart disease serious?

Doctor's answer:

Atrial fibrillation is a common disease in clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular medicine, most of which is caused by various factors such as heart disease, mental and neurological factors, excessive exertion, and excessive stress. The condition is relatively severe and can easily lead to the recurrence of other diseases such as embolism in other parts of the body, heart failure, and sudden death. It is necessary to promptly visit a regular public hospital's cardiovascular department for follow-up treatment. Specialized doctors should provide appropriate treatment based on the actual condition to prevent the condition from worsening.
