Add Your Name to Help Fight Stroke

Though AF increases the risk of stroke by nearly 500%, it often goes undetected until a serious complication develops. We need to find a way to detect AF earlier so that we can improve the chances of living a healthy life, even with AF. Sign the Global AF Patient Charter to show your support for awareness of AF and the need to prevent AF-related stroke. Not only does AF increase someone’s risk of a stroke, AF-related strokes are more severe and cause greater disability with a worse prognosis than other strokes. Many AF-related strokes could be prevented by earlier diagnosis, access to appropriate treatment, and improved management. This could save lives and significant healthcare costs. Enhancing knowledge and practices in the healthcare workforce will improve prevention, detection, and management of AF and AF-related strokes. Sign the Charter now to support raising awareness and save lives
