Atrial fibrillation: more than a pulse
Atrial fibrillation · Food, normal function and supported decisions
A heart rhythm is one part of circulation, but different decisions concern different outcomes. Feeling a steadier pulse, reducing symptoms and preventing a clot-related stroke are not the same achievement. This journey follows those distinctions into daily life, with room for food and activity alongside the care that a particular person needs. [afn-nhlbi] [afn-nhs]
