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, encourage individuals to seek help if required and share the message, “Don’t Miss A Beat”.
“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
- Raising awareness on social media
- Conducting a 30 second pulse check
