Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. September is atrial fibrillation month, a time to raise awareness about this condition, which causes an irregular and often rapid heart rate. Atrial fibrillation affects more than 2 million Americans. According to Alvaro Alonzo, an associate professor of public health at the University of Minnesota, an irregular heartbeat can lead to stroke, heart failure, and an early death. Recent research by Alonzo, however, has found that the condition is preventable by, among other things, improving diet and increasing exercise. Although the results were not surprising, Alonzo said that this was the first time a large study was undertaken to show this relationship between an irregular heartbeat and cardiovascular risk factors. For public health moment, I'm Mark Engebretson.
