Atrial Fibrillation
The AFFECT-EU project highlights the importance of screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) in order to prevent strokes. Individuals who are at risk should be tested for AF during every health appointment to ensure early detection and appropriate management.
Preventing Stroke Through AF Screening
AF is a common heart rhythm disorder that can increase the risk of stroke if left untreated. Regular screening for AF can help identify the condition in its early stages, allowing for timely intervention and reducing the likelihood of stroke.
Take Control of Your Heart Health
If you are at risk for AF or have a family history of the condition, make sure to discuss screening options with your healthcare provider. By staying proactive about your heart health, you can lower your risk of stroke and other complications associated with atrial fibrillation.
