April 24, 2018 Written by Myrna LaFleur Brooks

This medical terminology quiz focuses on terms relating to atrial fibrillation (Ā-trē-al) (fi-bri-LĀ-shun) (AFib). At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFib. It most often is the result of other conditions that affect the health of the heart, such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. Signs and symptoms include palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. Some people may have no symptoms.

Take the quiz and check your knowledge of terms relating to atrial fibrillation.
