AF is an arrhythmia characterized by chaotic cardiac beats that are irregularly irregular. The heartbeat frequency can even be beyond 150 beats per minute.
The heart can skip a beat or beat once too many, often without any associated heart disease.
In reality, extrasystoles, these additional heartbeats, occur in almost everyone every day, without being noticed by the individual
