Why is it important to Know Your Pulse?
There is currently no required program of pulse checks or heart rhythm screening at regular health check-ups. Something as simple as Knowing Your Pulse can save your life or reduce your risk of a debilitating or life-threatening AF-related stroke – the most severe type of stroke. It only takes 30 seconds, and is so simple that people of all ages, young and old, can learn how to do it.
Know Your Pulse to Know Your Rhythm and together we can bring about change and ensure we all live healthier, longer lives.
Support our mission to raise awareness of arrhythmias and the importance of Knowing Your Pulse by sharing our messages on social media.
