Did you know... approximately 50% of the population will faint at least once in their lifetime, and most are unaware that fainting can be an early warning sign for a potentially serious and life-threatening heart rhythm condition. Help us to raise awareness of the link between syncope (fainting) and heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias)
