Join Dr. Sinno, a cardiac electrophysiologist at St. Elizabeth, as he breaks down everything you need to know about atrial fibrillation (AFib)—the most common heart rhythm disorder affecting millions of Americans.

AFib is the most common heart rhythm disturbance, affecting around six million Americans today—a number expected to rise to 16 million by 2050. Dr. Sinno explains that AFib primarily affects the left upper chamber of the heart, disrupting its normal rhythm. While some people with AFib experience noticeable symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, or chest tightness, others remain asymptomatic, only discovering the condition during routine checkups or medical procedures.
