Atrial Fibrillation- May 2021
You're listening to season 2 of the Penny's Hill Practice podcast! We are back after an a small break! Welcome back!
In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley look at atrial fibrillation.
Did you know that if you have atrial fibrillation you are 5 times more likely to have a stroke? And that 1 in 5 strokes in the UK are caused by atrial fibrillation? However, if your atrial fibrillation is diagnosed, there is medication that can reduce that risk?
Sounds easy, doesn't it? But what are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation? How would you know you have it? And just how do you take your pulse accurately?
Well, in this episode we will cover these questions and more!
