Did you know? Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) increases stroke risk by 5x compared to normal heart rhythm, and 30% of patients show ZERO symptoms 😱 Even scarier? Many only discover they have AFib after diagnosing a stroke.

✅ Anticoagulant medications can slash stroke risk

✅ Early detection = Defuse the "time bomb" in your heart!
