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.
Atrial Fibrilation, or AFib, is an irregular and often very rapid heart rate. As many as 1 in 4 adults over the age of 40 may have AFIB without knowing it.
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.
