Complications from Atrial Fibrillation. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) itself is usually not life threatening. If left untreated, the side effects of AFib can be potentially life threatening. AFib makes it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. With the blood moving more slowly, it is more likely to form clots. If the clot is pumped out of the heart, it could travel to the brain and lead to a stroke.
