Know your pulse

46,000 new cases of atrial fibrillation are diagnosed each year which cause around 12,500 strokes each year. Improving diagnosis and anticoagulation therapy would prevent 4,500 strokes each year and 3,000 deaths.

Together we are calling on the Government to introduce pulse checks to screen for atrial fibrillation in:

NHS Health Checks

Flu Vaccination clinics

This could help prevent 4,500 strokes and 3,000 deathsper year. Please visit the website and participate in the campaign.
