What Classifies Afib Rvr

What Is Afib with RVR? Afib with RVR refers to atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. Usually the heart is like clockwork, the top (collecting) chambers beat then the bottom (main pumping) chambers sense this and also beat, and so on, in a nice regular fashion just like a clock ticking second after second.

How long can you be in AFib with RVR?

Episodes of persistent A-fib are continual and last for more than 7 days . A person may not need treatment, but they are more likely to need medication or a procedure to restore the heart’s normal rhythm.

What is the difference between AFib and AFib with RVR?

So what’s the difference between AFib and AFib with RVR? It’s the ventricular rate. In AFib with RVR, the atria may still be fibrillating between 300 and 600 times per minute. However, the ventricles are beating at a much higher rate than in AFib.
