Is Heart Failure a Predictor of Aphib?

The most common symptoms that a patient presents with when they're an aphib. Commonly you see patients complaining of palpitations or shortness of breath. But what's interesting is that there are patients a symptomatic with their apib that can be sometimes problematic. In those patients, they may come back with heart failure. And the only way to find out is to treat the aphib and treat the heart failure at the same time, and hope that the patient recovers. So it sounds like heart failure is a possible precipitate of aphib. Are there other common precipitates? Yes, certainly. We'll talk more about causes in a bit.
