During Blood Clot Awareness Month, join us in highlighting the risk blood clots leading to devastating, sometimes fatal, outcomes. Yet a simple pulse check can detect an irregular heart rhythm and reduce the risk of a blood clot.

Good to finally put a face to a name, but can I ask the significance of the "cross" prominently placed on the partition behind you?

Hello

The AF Association was invited to attend a coffee morning for the community of local Methodist Church earlier this year. Our Patient Services Team held a presentation raising awareness about heart rhythm disorders, including AF.

If you would like any help or advice, please feel free to contact the team.

Kind regards

When one detects the irregular heartbeat, what is the next step?

Most of us who get Afib episodes are already on blood thinners.

What more should be done?

Thanks,

Fibnum
