What are the symptoms of AFib?
Some people who have AFib don't know they have it and don't have any
symptoms. Others may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
irregular heartbeat, palpitations, shortness of breath.
Is there any correlation between blood pressure and AFib?
A strong link has been established between high blood pressure and AFib.
Accordingly to European Society of Cardiology, hypertension predisposes to
cardiac arrhythmias, including ventricular arrhythmias, but most commonly atrial
fibrillation (AFib), which should be considered a manifestation of hypertensive
heart disease. Even high blood pressure is associated with incident AFib, and
hypertension is the most prevalent concomitant in AFib patients.
