Study: Air pollution increases stroke risk in people with AFib
Amid massive wildfires, high winds, and hurricanes across the US, people with atrial fibrillation, or AFib, should beware of highly polluted air.
AFib is an irregular heartbeat that can cause blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
About 12 million Americans have it.
According to UPI, a new study finds that exposure to high levels of air pollution can increase the risk of stroke in AFib patients by more than 20%.
