AFib-Related Strokes🫀🧠

Did you know atrial fibrillation (AFib) increases the risk of ischemic stroke by 5x? 🫀🧠
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) causes the heart to beat irregularly, which can lead to blood pooling in the atria and forming clots. These clots can travel to the brain, causing a life-threatening ischemic stroke. In fact, people with AFib are 5x more likely to suffer from a stroke.
Early detection and treatment of AFib are key to reducing stroke risk. Whether through medication, lifestyle changes, or procedures, managing AFib is crucial to prevent ischemic strokes.
Join us for our discussions on stroke, one this Wednesday about prehospital care of stroke, and one on World Stroke Day on the 29th about AFib, obesity, and stroke!
