Side Effects of Medications
submitted by: admin on 04/12/2015

What You Need to Know About Atrial Fibrillation
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Atrial fibrillation occurs when the top part of the heart, called the atria, beats at around 300 beats per minute and leads to ineffective contraction of the atria.
