   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

   Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

   "Abnormal heart rhythms such as Atrial Fibrillation, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia can also cause palpitations," Dr. Serwer explains. This ...

   There are four main types of SVT: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. [2] The symptoms of SVT include palpitations, feeling of faintness, sweating, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain. [1]

5. Palpitations - Wikipedia

   The rhythm of the palpitations may indicate the etiology of the palpitations (irregular palpitations indicate atrial fibrillation as a source of the palpitations). [1] An irregular pounding sensation in the neck can be caused by the dissociation of mitral valve and tricuspid valve , and the subsequent atria are contracting against a closed ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

   Fibrillation can affect the atrium (atrial fibrillation) or the ventricle (ventricular fibrillation): ventricular fibrillation is imminently life-threatening. Atrial fibrillation affects the upper chambers of the heart, known as the atria. Atrial fibrillation may be due to serious underlying medical conditions and should be evaluated by a ...

7. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

   Depending on the patient's health and other variables such as medications taken for rate control, atrial fibrillation may cause heart rates that span from 50 to 250 beats per minute (or even higher if an accessory pathway is present). However, new-onset atrial fibrillation tends to present with rates between 100 and 150 beats per minute. [22]
