📋Overview
This condition occurs when the atria receive disorganized electrical signals, causing them to beat out of coordination with the lower chambers of the heart. This irregular activity can result in a heart rate that is inconsistent and often significantly faster than a typical resting rhythm.
As a frequently diagnosed sustained heart rhythm disorder, the condition may manifest as occasional episodes or as a persistent state. These electrical disturbances can disrupt the mechanical efficiency of the heart's upper chambers during the cardiac cycle.
