Break down phrases into word meanings. Predominant means primary (at this moment). Rhythm is a noticeable timed or untimed sequence of events-- for example, a song has 3 short beats followed by 6 rapid beats; that is that song's rhythm.
Atrial Fibrillation (or A-Fib) is a sustained rapid "quivering" of the heart, rather than normal systole. A-Fib does not let the heart chambers, especially the ventricles, rest. A normal heart would be lub-lub, pause, lub-lub, etc. But A-fib is more like lub-lu-lub-lu-lub-lu... rapid and continuous. A-Fib is a medical emergency that needs corrected before the underlying problem causes the heart to stop.
