Anticoagulation is often prescribed, because clots can form in the heart and be embolized to the brain, causing strokes. Pacemakers in atrial fibrillation are most commonly placed for symptomatic bradycardia, either medication-induced or due to aging, diseased heart muscle. It is less common to insert a pacemaker for overdrive atrial pacing.

What is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia, afflicting between 2 and 6 million people in the United States.
