In some cases of AFib, the fibrillation of the atria causes the ventricles, or lower chambers of the heart, to beat too fast. This is called a rapid ventricular rate or response (RVR). If you have AFib with RVR you’ll experience symptoms, typically a rapid or fluttering heartbeat .
Read moreWhat is atrial flutter with RVR?
Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a fancy name for an irregular heartbeat . When your heart’s electrical signals aren’t working right, it can lead to a heartbeat that’s too fast.14 Haz 2020

Read moreWhich is more serious atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation is more serious than atrial fibrillation . Ventricular fibrillation frequently results in loss of consciousness and death, because ventricular arrhythmias are more likely to interrupt the pumping of blood, or undermine the heart’s ability to supply the body with oxygen-rich blood.
Read moreIs AFib and ventricular fibrillation the same?
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) is a dangerous type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat . It affects your heart’s ventricles.
Read moreCan AFib turn into ventricular fibrillation?
It shows an irregular wide-complex tachycardia with different degrees of QRS widening, consistent with preexcited atrial fibrillation with very fast conduction to the ventricles. At the end of the strip, QRS complexes become smaller and erratic as atrial fibrillation turns into ventricular fibrillation.24 Kas 2015

What Does AFib Feel Like? You might feel a flutter or quiver in your chest when your heart beats . Your heart might beat faster than usual, pound, or race. The feeling often lasts for a few minutes.
