The Heart Doesn’t Lie In medicine, AFib is not an exaggeration of the truth. Rather, it is an abbreviation for atrial fibrillation, the most common type of arrhythmia – or abnormal heart rhythm. AFib results from disorganization of the heart’s electricity that can cause an irregular heartbeat. Electrical signals sent between the chambers of the heart, through its conduction system, tell each part when and how to beat. Normally, the top chambers of the heart – or atria – beat first, initiated by an impulse that starts in a small area of the right atrium. Then, the bottom chambers – or ventricles, pump blood out t…

The test also has an estimated 85 percent accuracy rate in determining whether any of a patient’s m…
