Fainting or syncope is relatively common and in some cases it can be a sign of an arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorder) and should not be ignored. Arrhythmias can affect people of all ages and for some, fainting may be the first indication of a problem. Heart Rhythm Week aims to raise awareness about this disorder and encourage individuals to seek help if required.

“39% of children and 30% of adults are misdiagnosed with epilepsy – many of whom have an underlying, potentially fatal arrhythmia”

Get involved this June by:

• Organising a fundraiser
• Making a donation
