Until Navigating Atrial Fibrillation: Key Insights and Strategies for Better Heart Health Begins

Details

Join us for a free interactive, engaging educational opportunity for individuals impacted by arrhythmias and the general public interested in heart health. All are welcome to join in raising awareness of Atrial Fibrillation!

Location: Wilder Foundation, 451 Lexington Pkwy N, St Paul, MN 55104
Date & Time: Saturday, October 26, 9:30am - 11:30am CT

The need for comprehensive community education on Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) arises due to a significant gap in public awareness and understanding of this prevalent cardiac condition, resulting in delayed diagnosis, inadequate management and increased risk of adverse outcomes. Persistent misconceptions about AFib's causes, symptoms, and treatment options further exacerbate this issue. Moreover, there is a lack of awareness regarding modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, as well as the importance of early detection in preventing its development. Join this event to help raise awareness!
