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.

Solutions

Catch early warning signs accurately, at home

Monitoring blood pressure and EKG at home plays a crucial role in stroke prevention. It empowers individuals to identify irregular heart rhythms early, allowing for prompt medical intervention and ultimately reducing the risk of stroke.

Early detection, better outcomes

Spotting AFib signs early from home can prevent more serious complications with timely and effective interventions.

Know when to seek help

Home monitoring delivers definitive readings so you’ll know if there’s a heart rhythm irregularity, reducing the stress of uncertainty.

Enhance your doctor’s insight

Reliable and consistent data from home assists in tailoring optimal treatment strategies.

Post-procedure assurance

Helps with monitoring progress after surgical interventions, ensuring care that goes beyond the doctor’s officce.

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.
