Nearly 8 Million Indians May Have Undiagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Increasing Stroke Risk
Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm disorder affecting nearly 8 million Indians, often goes undetected due to its silent symptoms like palpitations, breathlessness, and fatigue. Experts attribute its rising prevalence to aging populations and increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Early diagnosis and timely anticoagulation treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications such as strokes, which AF significantly increases the risk of.
