The following information is about Atrial Fibrillation.

Atrial Fibrillation Defined

Among heart diseases, atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disturbance that causes the small chambers of the heart to beat irregularly, allowing blood clots to form, is the most important. It is particularly common in elderly people, in whom it is present in up to 10 percent. It is important to recognize atrial fibrillation because strokes can be prevented by using a blood-thinning medication to prevent clots from forming in the heart.

This definition is in context to Female Health. See more contextual defintions for Atrial Fibrillation.
