Atrial Fibrillation Association - US

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder. It happens when the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly, which can affect how blood flows through the heart.

Many people with AFib may have no noticeable symptoms — but recognizing AFib early matters.

This AFib Awareness Month, we are focusing on three important steps:

🔍 Detect AFib early
🛡 Protect your heart and brain
➡️ Act by talking with your healthcare team

Because when it comes to AFib, knowing is the first step.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can be difficult to detect, but new research suggests that recording your heart rhythm when symptoms happen could help.

A new study looking at KardiaMobile 6L - AliveCor found that using the device to record an EKG when symptoms, such as palpitations, dizziness and lightheadedness, occurred helped detect AFib and other abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

For people whose symptoms come and go, being able to record their heart rhythm at the time could give their healthcare team useful information to help understand what is happening.
