Atrial Fibrillation is the most commonly diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia. In this video we cover what is atrial fibrillation, the signs and symptoms, causes of atrial fibrillation and the complications of atrial fibrillation. We also look at how atrial fibrillation is diagnosed, and treated (with rate vs rhythm control). PDFs available here: https://rhesusmedicine.com/pages/cardiologyFor more medicine videos consider subscribing (if you found any of the info useful!): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRks8wB6vgz0E7buP0L_5RQ?sub_confirmation=1Buy Us A Coffee!: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rhesusmedicineTimestamps:0:00 What is Atrial Fibrillation?0:12 Atrial Fibrillation Pathophysiology1:14 Atrial Fibrillation Causes2:39 Atrial Fibrillation Signs and Symptoms3:30 Atrial Fibrillation Complications4:35 Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis5:28 Atrial Fibrillation Management (Rate vs Rhythm Control) LINK TO SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/rhesusmedicine/ReferencesDing, W.Y., Gupta, D. & Lip, G.Y.H., 2020.
