If not treated promptly and if access and efficiency of treatment can be improved It will be possible to prevent the death of up to 76 million people worldwide.

Let’s unite to convey through singer-songwriters. Using musical notes to create and express how atrial fibrillation (AFib) interacts with the patient’s heart rhythm.
