AFib is incredibly common in adults but is often overlooked in regular doctor visits. In fact, due to its irregular nature, AFib is missed 93% of the time. Symptoms include heart racing, chest pain and fatigue, but 40% of AFib patients are asymptomatic and may not display typical symptoms.
It’s important to catch early, as those with AFib are five times more likely to have a stroke. The good news is that new technology is allowing patients to monitor their blood pressure at home, reducing stroke risk.
Dr. Jen Caudle, a family medicine physician, joins us to discuss the signs and symptoms of AFib, why diagnosis is so important, and how patients can monitor their health at home.
