What you don’t know about atrial fibrillation could kill you, or a loved one!

Atrial fibrillation (also called afib) is an irregular heartbeat (or heart rhythm), and is a major cause of strokes. Having afib increases your stroke risk by 500 percent. In addition, afib can lead to heart failure, dementia, and even Alzheimer’s disease.

If you think you might have it, please get diagnosed and treated, before you have a stroke.

September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month. Please join the Sign Against Stroke campaign to show your support by signing the Global Atrial Fibrillation Charter. Read more
