World Stroke Day 2017

On World Stroke Day 2017, we are raising awareness of the serious and potentially life changing condition that is stroke. One in six people will experience stroke in their lifetime, and it’s essential that they receive urgent specialist care to help reduce long-term and permanent disabilities. Did you know that Atrial Fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained heart rhythm condition, is associated with a five-fold increase in the risk of stroke?
