Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are episodes of atrial fibrillation,
an irregular heart rhythm, that go away on their own. They may last anywhere
from a few seconds to a few weeks and may not cause symptoms. Sometimes
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is related to other things, such as alcohol
use, stress, or activity.
