Important facts about AFIB and Blood Pressure
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)?
Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat.
Certain cells in your heart produce electrical signals that cause
the heart to contract and pump blood. Atrial brillation occurs
when rapid, disorganized electrical signals are present in the
heart’s two upper chambers, called the atria, causing them to
contract quickly fast and irregularly (this is called brillation).
Atrial brillation is the most common form of heart arrhythmia
or irregular heart beat. You can live with atrial brillation, but it
can lead to other rhythm problems, chronic fatigue, heart failure
and —worst of all — a stroke. You’ll need a doctor to help you
control the problem.
How does AFIB impact my family or myself?
One in every six strokes are AFIB-related. Whilt individuals
above the age of 65 are more likely to have AFIB, individuals as
young as 40 can exhibit AFIB. Early diagnosis can help reduce the
risk of a stroke.
