Valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is a condition where AF occurs in the presence of mitral stenosis or mechanical valve prosthesis. On the other hand, non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) refers to an irregular and often rapid heartbeat in the heart's atria. However, unlike valvular AF, it is not associated with significant heart valve issues. NVAF is the most prevalent form of atrial fibrillation. NVAF can have various nonvalvular causes, such as exposure to heart stimulants like alcohol, caffeine, or tobacco, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, lung problems, hyperthyroidism, or severe illness-related stress such as pneumonia. NVAF symptoms include discomfort in the chest, a fluttering feeling in the chest, palpitations, dizziness or near-fainting sensations, labored breathing, and fatigue. Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm disorder that primarily affects the atria and significantly raises the risk of thromboembolic events, particularly ischemic stroke and systemi...
