Understanding Atrial Fibrillation
... AF affects everyone differently. One person with a fast heart rate may not feel well. Another person won’t feel the AF at all. Over time, fast heart rates can cause the ventricles to become larger and weaker. Also, once AF starts, the atria undergo changes that make the AF more likely to continue. T ...
