Heart Rhythm Week is running from 7-13 June this year. 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”.

If you think you might have an arrhythmia, see your doctor.

Get involved this June by:

• Organising a fundraiser
• Making a donation
• Raising awareness on social media
• Conducting a 30 second pulse check
