... The sinus node acts as the heart’s natural pacemaker, and it uses electrical signals to start each heartbeat. During AFib, the electrical signals in the atria are chaotic, causing the heart to beat (quiver) in an irregular rhythm. This means the atria cannot pump enough blood to the ventricles, which can lead to a number of health problems. ...

... Scar tissue is formed on the AV node, and a pacemaker is implanted to restore the heart’s rhythm. Permanent Atrial Fibrillation Permanent AFib, or chronic AFib, is diagnosed when the normal heart rate cannot be restored even after trying many different treatment options. People with permanent AFib will have it for the rest of their lives. ...
