AF can lead to other heart rhythm problems, chronic fatigue, heart failure and stroke. If AF is left untreated, the overactive heart muscle can weaken and stretch, making it harder for the heart’s upper chambers to contract properly. Not only does this increase your risk of stroke, it also can lead to congestive heart failure.
