In a global call to action, 77 patient organisations and medical societies from 43 countries are asking the general public, healthcare professionals and policy makers to work with them to drive action that could prevent millions of people from dying or becoming disabled from a stroke caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), an under-diagnosed, under-treated and potentially life threatening condition..

People are being encouraged to show their support by visiting the campaign website, signagainststroke.com, and signing the Global AF Patient Charter.

A stroke will attack thousands of people tomorrow… Sign for prevention today. signagainststroke.com
