Heart Rhythm Week 2017

Heart Rhythm Week is an initiative designed to secure early diagnosis and improve outcomes for the many millions of people across the globe affected by arrhythmias.

This year’s World Heart Rhythm Week focus is ‘Identifying the Undiagnosed Person’. Arrhythmias is the abnormal beating of one’s heart and can lead to severe consequences such as a lack of blood circulation around the body.

“Arrhythmias are responsible for between 23,000 and 33,000 sudden cardiac  deaths each year, many of which could be avoided with greater public awareness of their risks and symptoms.”

Get involved this June by:

• Volunteering
• Donating to the foundation
• Raising awareness on social media
• Share your story
• Hold an event
