Atrial Fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid, disorganized electrical activity in the atria, leading to an irregular and often rapid ventricular rate, distinguished from other arrhythmias by the absence of coordinated atrial depolarization and the presence of chaotic atrial activation.
