atrial natriuretic peptide, which is released naturally by cells in the heart.
People with
lone atrial fibrillation usually require treatment to re-establish a normal heart rhythm, because they usually have exercise intolerance or shortness of breath, symptoms of palpitations, and are at an increased risk of having a stroke.
