Atrial Fibrillation

Preferred Label : Atrial Fibrillation;

NCIt synonyms : AFib; AF;

NCIt definition : A disorder characterized by an electrocardiographic finding of a supraventricular arrhythmia characterized by the replacement of consistent P waves by rapid oscillations or fibrillatory waves that vary in size, shape and timing and are accompanied by an irregular ventricular response. (CDISC);

Alternative definition : FDA: Irregular heart rhythm, usually associated with a rapid rate, that is caused by abnormal electrical activity within the atrial.; CTCAE: A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia without discernible P waves and an irregular ventricular response due to multiple reentry circuits. The rhythm disturbance originates above the ventricles.; NICHD: An irregular heart rhythm, usually associated with a rapid rate, that is caused by abnormal electrical activity within the atria.;
