Cure? No. it can lessen the severity of the problem, or increase the interval between problem episodes, but it won't cure the problem and make sure it never comes back.

"Atrial Fibrillation" is an irregular heartbeat which is may be caused when one of the four nodes of the heart isn't contracting at the proper rhythm. When the atrium begins to squeeze more rapidly than the rest of the heart, this prevents the heart's "pump" from forcing blood through the body at an even pace.
