Overview

In developed countries the two most common causes of atrial fibrillation are Hypertensive heart disease and coronary heart disease . In developing countries Rheumatic heart disease is associated with a much higher incidence of atrial fibrillation.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
