Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heartbeat that causes poor blood flow which can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
Those with atrial fibrillation may not experience any symptoms and are often unaware of their condition until it’s discovered during a routine physical exam. Those who have experienced symptoms reported to have felt weakness, fatigue, lightheadedness and dizziness, shortness of breath, inability to exercise and palpitations—all of which are sensations of a racing, uncomfortable and irregular heartbeat.
With atrial fibrillation, it’s important to live a heart-healthy lifestyle by eating a heart-healthy diet, maintaining physical activity, attaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol and caffeine and reducing stress. Medication may also be used to maintain a normal heart rhythm.

West Valley Heart Walk
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death. Javion was saved by his coach’s quick CPR action when he collapsed on the basketball court. Stories like Javion’s can become more common by creating communities who are ready to act in the case of an emergency.
It’s time to unite, take action, and save lives. Our goal is to have one person in every household confident and prepared to perform CPR. The American Heart Association invites YOU to join the Heart Walk to broaden our impact by turning bystanders into lifesavers.
Register now to take the first step in saving lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
