Foot health and heart health are more connected than many people realise.
Many of our patients come in for routine podiatry care, but as part of our regular assessments we also review circulation, pulses, and heart rate/rhythm. These checks matter because sometimes, we pick up more than just foot concerns.
In fact, a patient recently told us, “you’ve probably saved my life.”
During a routine appointment, we detected an irregular heartbeat and referred them to their GP. They were later diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and are now receiving treatment.
Atrial fibrillation can significantly increase the risk of stroke and heart failure, so early detection truly makes a difference.
Podiatry isn’t just about feet, it’s about supporting overall health. 💙👣
