James Crowley: The Hidden Burden of Atrial Fibrillation
James Crowley, Professor of Medicine Emeritus at Brown University, Captain at U.S. Navy Reserve, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, often goes unrecognized despite affecting millions and increasing stroke risk by up to 5 times.
New consumer patient research from the American Heart Association, conducted by The Olinger Group, finds that most people with AFib (62 percent) had no prior knowledge of the condition before being diagnosed.
Being diagnosed with AFib may feel overwhelming.
However, with the right care plan, you can effectively manage AFib and reduce your risk of stroke and other complications.
Collaborating with a health care team helps patients understand their specific type of AFib and develop a personalized plan.
Treatment options for AFib may include medication, procedures and lifestyle changes such as weight management, increasing physical activity, quitting smoking and managing conditions like high blood pressure to support long-term health.”
