So people can feel lightheaded or dizzy or kind of clumsy.
Particularly, this is a rhythm that happens as we get older.
After the age of 60, it increases by 10% prevalence every 10 years.
So as we get older, you may have more of these sensations and your ability to tolerate them becomes less and less.
Just like, you know, our ability to tolerate anything as we get older gets less and less.
Right.
So so people can become lightheaded and dizzy and this can be a problem.
In the top chambers, now remember, you have these thousands of electrical impulses happening.
And what happens is the atria, the top chambers, cannot beat that fast.
They can't beat thousands of times a minute.
So they come to this kind of very tense standstill.
And what happens is they're just kind of contracted and not really moving.
And as a result, you're not able to wash the blood through, right?
You're not getting movement.
And so what happens when blood just kind of sits around?
Well, it starts to clot and that's where clot risks come from.
So that's why when somebody goes into atrial fibrillation, we'll make a calculation.
So we call it Chad's VASC score to see if you need to be on a blood thinner to prevent the risk of clot, because that is oftentimes the most devastating aspect of atrial fibrillation is not the arrhythmia itself.
but a stroke, somebody will, you know, probably 50% of the time people who have stroke, that's their presentation symptom or presenting symptom of atrial fibrillation that was undocumented.
And, you know, the other question, what I forgot to mention about the bottom chamber is sometimes people don't feel it at all.
