Here Is What You Need To Know About Atrial Fibrillation

September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month and this morning on Jersey Magazine, Jim Monaghan speaks with Dr. Jen Caudle, a board-certified Family Medicine physician here in New Jersey.

AFib is missed 93% of the time due to its irregular nature. Many AFib patients are asymptomatic and It’s extremely important to catch early, as those with AFib are also 5x more likely to have a stroke. It's important to know what the warning signs are and how to best deal with the symptoms, should that be necessary. Dr. Jen Caudle - Atrial Fibrillation Dr. Jen Caudle has appeared on The Today Show, CNN, Fox News and other outlets.
