There is a variety tests that can be performed to detect an atrial fibrillation a doctor’s exam‚ an electrocardiogram (EKG)‚ a stress test‚ and an echocardiogram (echo). A doctor can detect an AFib when checking your vital signs. Due to the fact that part of checking the vital sign is getting a pulse which means getting an apical pulse and all of the other peripheral pulse. Since AFib is an arrhythmia the pulse will be higher and the doctor might hear a non-functional sound in the heart as oppose

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation is an irregularity in the atria’s electrical impulses‚ causing a disorderly and rapid rhythm. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (also termed intermittent atrial fibrillation) is occurrences of AF that spontaneously halt within 7 days of starting. Episodes of AF can last from a few seconds up to a few days in Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The sinoatrial (SA) node is the dominant pacemaker of the heart. Located
