Younger people with atrial fibrillation have an increased risk of death and often exhibit risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity, and sleep apnea, worsening cardiovascular health.
Atrial fibrillation causes the heart to beat chaotically, leading to symptoms like fluttering heartbeat, palpitations, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and can be asymptomatic.
Smart watches are contributing to more atrial fibrillation diagnoses among younger individuals; increased screening is leading to higher detection rates.
