WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ATRIAL FIBRILLATIONAtrial fibrillation (a fib) is an irregularly irregular heart rhythm. Normally the heart hastwo areas of specialized tissue called the Sino-atrial(SA) and Atrio-ventricular(AV) nodes. TheSA node is responsible for “sparking” the heart to beat at a regular rate. The SA node is sensitiveto chemicals, hormones, and nervous stimulation. This node i
