Hi Nancy Lynn.
Lists like this appear on medical reports under the heading "Past Medical History" (ACTDs is "antecedents").
I agree with the other answers that FA is atrial fibrillation (or flutter), but that is not your question. You want to know what a/c stands for.
The problem with AF is that even when it is over, it is prone to recurrence and each time it recurs there is a risk of massive stroke. So, normally, treatment for AF is ongoing - to prevent stroke - even if the cardiac arrhythmia has reverted to sinus (normal) rhythm. Since treatment is ongoing, AF would normally be listed under the heading of "Current Medical Problems".
Why then is it listed under "Past Medical History"? The answer is that is has been definitely cured by a CARDIAC ABLATION procedure.

My confidence is only medium on this one, but the other current explanations don't look right at all. I would suggest consulting the author.

a/c
That means she has the mutation of the lamin gene a/c. This people are at high risk of arrythmia.
Une cardiomyopathie dilatée sévère avec trouble du rythme ou de conduction, associée ou non à une myopathie des quadriceps, a été observée chez onze membres d'une même famille. L'atteinte cardiaque survient à la troisième décennie, précède les troubles neurologiques et détermine le pronostic. Elle est représentée par une fibrillation auriculaire, une arythmie ventriculaire ou un bloc de branche ou AV, ainsi que par une cardiomyopathie dilatée. Une mutation dominante du gène de la lamine A/C semble en cause. *Auteur : Orphanet (octobre 2006)*.

Note to all,
I am not saying Liz's understanding of the French term is wrong but that it would be redundant and that as pointed out by Michael, this is not English medical terminology.. I have asked the Teaching Hospital's Cardiology unit for their opinion, given them the link to this question, and will keep you posted.
