A simple pulse check only takes 30 seconds!

Atrial fibrillation, also known as AF or AFib is a quivering or irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to an AF-related stroke or heart failure if left untreated.

If you have AF, your heart beats in an irregular rhythm causing the blood to not flow regularly. If blood does not move quickly and smoothly, dangerous blood clots may form.

These blood clots are dangerous and could potentially travel from the heart to the brain that may cause an AF-related stroke.
