Did you recently discover that you or a loved one have Atrial Fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation (afib) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and is characterized by heart palpitations, and shortness of breath. This progressive and debilitating disease can lead to stroke, heart failure, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease, and can increase the risk of death. Afib takes a physical, emotional, and a financial toll on those living with it. Not just the patient, but the family, as well.

You might not know but atrial fibrillation symptoms often include heart palpitations, dizziness and weakness. Incidents of atrial fibrillation can come and go, or you may develop one which doesn’t go away and may require treatment. Although atrial fibrillation itself usually isn’t life-threatening, it may become a serious medical condition that sometimes requires emergency treatment. It may also lead to complications like blood clots forming in the heart that may circulate to other organs and lead to blocked blood flow.
