February is American Heart Month — a great time to focus on simple steps you can take to protect your heart and your long-term health.
One of the most powerful ways to do that is to assess your risk for stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. While you may already be aware of major risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking, an abnormal heart rhythm is another primary risk factor.
In fact, one out of every four strokes is due to atrial fibrillation (Afib), the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. But the good news? Afib is one of the most treatable stroke risk factors, especially when treated early.
At Current Clinic, we focus on proactive care:
- Detecting rhythm issues sooner
- Managing risk factors
- Treating Afib with advanced therapies
- Helping patients stay in a healthy rhythm long term
This month, talk with your provider about your heart rhythm and stroke risk — because a quick check-in today can help protect your future.
