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.
I was diagnosed over a year ago and had very little symptoms then I had a stress today after being taken off my beta blockers(high blood pressure and I have been on them 10 years) for 24 hours and well apparently flunked the test. Now I am being told I need to have the stress test with the dye. What are they looking for?
