Atrial Fibrillation Screening Video Transcript:

Life Line Screening’s atrial fibrillation screening can detect an irregular heart rhythm.  After age 40, one in 4 adults will develop it in their lifetime.  The reason that it is important to be screened is that atrial fibrillation can increase your chance of a stroke 5 times and often doesn’t have any symptoms.  A 6-lead EKG can be administered without the removal of any clothing.  The test is painless and can detect a fast and irregular heartbeat so that you can share your results with your physician who will develop a treatment plan.
