Some physical examination findings of<unk>  fibrillation include irregularly irregular pulse, possible high blood pressure, and other sign of congestive heart failure. The hemodynamic stability of the patient should be first assessed. The patient should also be examined for the presence of reversible causes of<unk>  fibrillation. A study of routine pulse checks during routine office visits, found that the annual rate of<unk>  fibrillation diagnosis in elderly patients altered from 1.04% to 1.63%. This implies that routine examination has 64% (1.04/1.63) sensitivity and should be done regularly. Thyroid exmaination should be considered, specially in younger patients with<unk>  fibrillation. In patients with dyspnea, tachypnea could be detected and a finding such as rales would suggest heart failure.
