Affecting 60 million people worldwide 1 , the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) is expected to increase by 60% by 2050 due to an aging population and rising cardiometabolic risk factors 2. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 12 million Americans will have AFib by 2030 3.

Stroke is often due to sudden loss of blood supply to a region of the brain which usually results in paralysis of a part of the body. Stroke could also be due to bleeding into a part of the brain. Strokes and heart disease are linked together in various ways. Stroke can occur after a heart attack as well.

Occasionally there could be an irregular rhythm originating from the upper chambers of the heart known as atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation, known in short as A-FIB causes almost standstill of the upper chambers. If a blood vessel of the brain is blocked, it results in weakness of a side known as stroke.

This condition is known as atrial fibrillation, in which the upper chambers of the heart generate very fast irregular signals but fail to contract well. If these clots migrate to the blood vessels of the brain, a stroke may result. Reduced function of the thyroid gland is also associated with heart disease.
