Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Support Group
Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia) which involves the two small, upper heart chambers (the atria). Heart beats in a normal heart begin after electricity generated in the atria by the sinoatrial node spread through the heart and cause contraction of the heart muscle and pumping of blood.

years. 20 years later got AFIB... anyone else think there is
a connection.... or taken diet pills and then developed this malady?

I now think my genetics and age are the cause....maybe, maybe not......
Now that we have it, the important things is that we do our Best to deal with it!
