THE BEAT GOES ON - Understanding AFib in Women
Event Information
About this Event
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) where the upper and lower chambers of the heart are not coordinated causing the heart to beat irregularly.
Many women have AFib and do not know they have it!
Participants will hear from our board-certified cardiologists and electrophysiologist about AFib in women, symptoms, and available treatments at this FREE, virtual community event during National Heart Health Month.
