Our medical director Professor Sir Nilesh Samani
These figures show a quite astonishing rise in the number of people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
Research has helped us understand the links between atrial fibrillation and stroke
We also need to continue to harness the power of science to develop new and innovative tools for identifying people at increased risk
BHF
The figures have been released as we launch a new campaign calling on the public to support our research
The campaign aims to inspire people’s wonder at the complexity and preciousness of their own hearts and how lifesaving research can help if it goes wrong.

See a GP or call 111 if:
• you have chest pain that comes and goes
• you have chest pain that goes away quickly but you're still worried
• you notice a sudden change in your heartbeat
• your heart rate is consistently lower than 60 or above 100 (particularly if you're experiencing other symptoms of atrial fibrillation, such as dizziness and shortness of breath)
It's important to get medical advice to make sure it's nothing serious.
