5 Ways Cardiac Insight is Expanding Access to AFib Diagnosis and Treatment
To find the right solution, you must first know a problem exists. During AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) Awareness Month this September, cardiologists, electrophysiologists, clinicians, and the wider cardiology community including Cardiac Insight are raising awareness and a collective voice to ensure the public understands the magnitude and seriousness of AFib.
AFib is the occurrence of a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that often leads to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and even death. The toll it takes on patients, their loved ones, and the healthcare system is extreme. AFib alone increases a person’s risk of stroke by 500 percent, yet most people are not even aware that it is a serious condition (Source: AHA). Far too often, it’s left undetected and untreated.
