Helping Women Understand AFib and Stroke Risk Brought to You by Boehringer Ingelheim

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is a serious heart condition affecting more than five million Americans.  AF often remains undiagnosed and untreated. This is a serious concern since AFib carries considerable morbidity and mortality. Among the more devastating complications is the risk of stroke, which AFib patients are at five time greater risk of developing. In fact, every hour, 15 people will suffer a stroke caused by AFib. So what can be done? Joining us to discuss the misconceptions, risk factors, signs, symptoms and the role of anticoagulation in stroke prevention are Dr. Annabelle Volgman from Rush University Medical Center, and guests.
