September is Atrial Fibrillation month

Over five million Americans suffer from this scary irregular heartbeat known as atrial fibrillation or Afib or AF.

September is Atrial Fibrillation month to raise awareness of this life-threatening irregular heartbeat, commonly called afib or AF.

Once considered benign, this common cardiac arrhythmia can often lead to congestive heart failure or stroke. Every five minutes, someone in the United STates has a stroke caused by atrial fibrillation (AF). Stroke is the #3 killer and the #1 cause of permanent disability.
