Is atrial fibrillation life-threatening?

Atrial fibrillation is not life-threatening, but the complications caused may cause life-threatening.

Atrial fibrillation itself does not cause life-threatening, but atrial fibrillation can lead to atrial blood flow stagnation, slow blood flow, and easy formation of emboli. When emboli occur, it will cause acute cerebral blood flow interruption in cerebral vessels, which may cause acute cerebral infarction. There is a risk of disability, and even endanger the patient's life. Therefore, patients with atrial fibrillation should closely observe the changes in their condition to prevent complications from causing life-threatening.
