Don’t let undetected AFib lead to stroke

Early AFib detection is essential. But as the risk of AFib grows with age, its often subtle or mistaken signs leave numerous individuals undiagnosed.

Discover the Sound of AFib.

AFib is a heart rhythm disorder characterized by rapid and irregular heartbeats

A normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute.¹ In contrast, those with AFib experience irregular and rapid heartbeats of more than 400 times per minute.⁷ This elevates stroke risk by five times, accounting for 20%-30% of all strokes.²

Risk factors and comorbidities associated with AFib¹

1 in 4 adults over 40 will develop AFib in their lifetime⁴

While regular health screenings are crucial, they can occasionally miss AFib due to its elusive nature. As the risk of AFib grows with age, its often subtle or mistaken signs leave numerous individuals undiagnosed.

Symptoms to watch for include:

Palpitations

Chest pain

Dizziness

General weakness

Shortness of breath

But AFib also often strikes with no symptoms and can slip under the radar during routine check-ups – that's why regular home screening is vital.

What's more, AFib raises the stroke risk by 5 times

This stems from the heart's upper chambers not effectively pumping blood, potentially leading to blood pooling and clot formation.⁵

If a clot forms, it might travel through the heart, circulate elsewhere, and potentially block a brain artery, causing a stroke.⁵

How AFib can lead to stroke

Stroke outcomes tend to be more severe in individuals with AFib than those without

In one study, doctors compared stroke patients with and without AFib, and they found the following:³

AFib-related stroke patients stayed in hospitals for 50 days, compared to 40 daysfor others³
Hospital discharge rates to go home, were lower for AFib stroke patients³
There was a higher in-hospital mortality ratefor stroke patients with AFib, than those without³

The same study also found that patients with AFib were more likely to have a stroke again, in comparison to stroke patients who did not have AFib.³

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a leading cause of AFib in adults

It’s not uncommon for high blood pressure and AFib to both be present in the same person. In fact, one medical study found the following:

High blood pressure was found to increase the risk of AFib by 50% in men and 40% in women⁶
High blood pressure was the 4th risk factor after heart failure, aging, and heart valve disease⁶

Moreover, having both AFib and high blood pressure, increases the risk of stroke further.

Stroke prevention starts with awareness

Awareness is your first defense against AFib’s silent threat. While sporadic checks might miss the mark, regular EKG and blood pressure monitoring offers a more comprehensive view of your heart’s health. This not only allows your doctor to detect early risks of AFib and preempt serious complications but also optimizes treatment plans and tracks post-surgery recovery leading to less emergency visits.

"I was absolutely fascinated. I suppose I should have been shocked at the state of my heart, because it was up and down, but I wasn’t, I was just amazed as it just picked up on the irregular rhythm. It’s fantastic it really is! If I hadn’t been diagnosed that day in my GP’s office, I really don’t know what the outcome would have been. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my grandson’s childhood and I wouldn’t have that bond with him. I really think it saved my life. I’m very grateful for the device, very grateful. I would honestly say it’s a lifesaver. It’s so simple to use. You don’t have to go out of your way, it’s just there. I couldn’t believe it - the doctor and I looked at each other, and I said this is just amazing!"

"The Omron Complete Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG has been an awesome healthcare tool to have on hand to not only track and monitor my blood pressure, but to also measure my pulse, heartbeat patterns, and overall heart health. The directions were clear and concisely written, allowing me to use the tool with the corresponding app immediately upon opening. The blood pressure monitor itself was comfortable to wear and seems to be made with durable material so I have no worries with it fraying or showing any signs of wear. I love how easy it is now to share my heart health data with my primary care provider with the simple click of a button."

"I bought this meter so that I can do EKG at home. The first time I used it, it showed an anomaly my doctor informed me to go to the ER. As a result, they discovered I needed double bypass surgery and saved my life. It's been a truly life-changing experience, and I am thankful for the peace of mind it brings."

"I bought this combo device a few weeks ago and I use it every day. It monitors my pulse, I have experienced both afib and tachycardia, and love being able to get an EKG and BP at one time. Works great with my android phone, I must say I am impressed with how seamlessly it works."

"Stroke is a public health concern and addressing risk factors such as hypertension (HTN) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is important in helping to reduce strokes in Wales. The OMRON Complete device with the OMRON connect App is innovative in measuring HTN, checking for AF and keeping a record of these results, which can be shown to GP and/or researchers. The use of this innovative technology is a step forward in helping to monitor and reduce risk factors and stroke respectively here in Wales."

"The OMRON Complete device has been a game changer in undertaking health checks at our COVID Crisis Rescue Foundation Vaxi Taxi vaccination and health check pop ups across London. The devices are easy to use and allow quick and clear identification of atrial fibrillation."

Dr. Sharon Raymond - Founder of Vcm-taxi, runs a pop-up health screening initiative in London

"With high blood pressure (BP) and atrial fibrillation (AF) identified as the two biggest risk factors for stroke and heart disease, I believe that the combination of using one device to simultaneously measure BP and AF can only be a good thing from an identification and early detection perspective. With the number of people accessing regular clinical care significantly reduced as a result of the pandemic, making every contact count is of major importance. Having both BP and AF measured simultaneously using the OMRON Complete device, can only increase the number of people that will get to know their numbers and make people aware of their risk of stroke and heart disease."

How it works

Instant, already interpreted results

Traditional EKGs rely on wired electrodes to track heart signals. OMRON advances this with portable devices featuring built-in sensors. By placing their fingers on the sensors, users can facilitate swift heart monitoring; the companion app instantly captures and interprets the EKG results, so there’s no second guessing.
