Atrial Fibrilation (AF) is a heart condition. When you have AF, your heart beats fast and out of rhythm. AF affects more than 500,000 Australians. Rates of AF increase significantly with increasing age. If left untreated or poorly managed, AF can lead to serious health complications. These can include stroke and heart failure.
The Stroke Foundation has developed this new booklet called ‘Living with Atrial Fibrillation’ to explain further. Click on this page where you can read more information about AF.
