Reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes
Atrial fibrillation
AF is characterised by a rapid, irregular heartbeat and is the most common heart rhythm irregularity.
Blood pressure
High blood pressure, or hypertension, rarely has noticeable symptoms. But, if untreated, it increases your risk of developing serious health problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your blood. If you have too much cholesterol in your blood, it can increase your risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
