Atrial Fibrillation aka A Fib

An arrhythmia is a problem with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia. The cause is a disorder in the heart's electrical system....

AF can lead to an increased risk of stroke. In many patients, it can also cause chest pain, heart attack, or heart failure.

N.B. Watch your units! Some studies reported 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in nanomoles per liter, while others reported results in nanograms per milliliter.

P.S. I just saw this story in the hard copy version of the January 2012 issue of Family Practice News.
