People who regularly floss their teeth (one or more times per week) may lower their risk of stroke caused by a blood clot traveling from the heart and a stroke associated with an irregular heartbeat such as atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a fast and irregular heart rhythm that, left untreated, can lead to blood clots, stroke and heart failure. It's the most common type of arrhythmia, a potentially serious condition in which the heart beats too quickly, too slowly or in an irregular pattern.

Today’s video is on the subject of stroke and in particular cryptogenic strokes. It is therefore crucial to identify the cause of stroke and treat the underlying cause wherever possible. Strokes are characterised by death of brain cells as a result of disruption of blood supply to those cells.

AFib Facts and Impacts Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 2% of individuals worldwide. Some patients need computed tomography or transoesophageal echocardiography to exclude the presence of a blood clot in the heart. Prolonged anticoagulation may be required depending on the risk of blood clots.
