AFib is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, affecting millions of Americans — especially adults over 55 or those with high blood pressure, diabetes or a history of heart disease. Left untreated, it can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath and even increase your risk of stroke.
But there’s good news: with the right care, AFib can be managed and even corrected.

Could it be AFib? Know the signs.
You may be experiencing AFib if you notice:
- A racing, fluttering or irregular heartbeat
