Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke and other heart-related complications. If you have any of the signs – fluttering heartbeat, chest pain, fainting or loss of appetite – take them seriously. Ask the doctor about AFib at your next appointment. HCA Healthcare Foundation is the national sponsor of Getting to the Heart of Stroke™.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. is proud to support the American Heart Association’s Hypertension, Sodium and Sleep Professional Education Initiative.
