Some causes of atrial fibrillation are unknown and may be triggered by emotional stress, physical activity, or heavy drinking. For atrial fibrillation, once an episode occurs, it is important to actively administer appropriate medications to control it, to avoid the adverse consequences of persistent atrial fibrillation.
