Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a condition where the heart beats irregularly and often rapidly. Several factors can contribute to the development of AFib, including high blood pressure, diabetes, alcohol, and caffeine. High blood pressure can cause the heart to work harder, leading to changes in the heart's structure and function, which may trigger AFib. Diabetes can damage the heart's electrical system and increase the risk of AFib. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to episodes of AFib, as it can affect the heart's rhythm. Caffeine, especially in large amounts, can also trigger AFib in some individuals. Managing these risk factors through lifestyle changes and medication can help reduce the likelihood of developing AFib.
