What is Afib with RVR? Some cases of Afib involve atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR). This is when the rapid contractions of the atria

Comparing AFib and AFib with RVR. Though atrial fibrillation and AFib with RVR share the same irregular heartbeat, they are distinct in their manifestations. While atrial fibrillation is marked by the atria quivering or fibrillating, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a subtype of this condition which signifies a rapid heart
