Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) hi eng nge ni? A awlsam zawngin...

A awlsam zawngin, Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) hi thinlung thawk mumal lo, i thinlung pindan chunglam pahnih, atria an tih, a awm a ni. Kan thinlung hian electrical system a nei a, chu chuan thinlungah signal a thawn a, chu chu mumal tak leh felfai takin a thawk a ni. Mahse AFib vei thinlungah chuan he electrical system hian hna a thawk tha lo. Inrem taka signal thawn ai chuan a rualin signal chi hrang hrang tam tak a thawn chhuak thin.

I thinlung hi orchestra angin ngaihtuah rawh. A tlangpuiin conductor pakhat a awm a, chu chuan signal a pe a, beat te chu mumal takin a play tir thin. Mahse AFib-ah chuan conductor pakhat ni lovin kawng hrang hranga signal petu mi engemaw zat an awm a. Tichuan orchestra member-te chuan tu signal nge an tum tih an hrethiam lo.
