Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disturbance. It can be genetic, but mostly comes on as you get older and sicker. Depending on a scoring system, most patients should be on blood thinners, because atrial fibrillation increases the risk of strokes from blood clots. ASA, warfarin ( coumadin), rivaroxiban, pradaxa, or apixiban are all suitable anti - clotting drugs.
