🧑🔬Interesting new study out of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), shows risk of AFib is 3 times more common than previously thought - affecting 10.5M adults in America (or 5% of the population). 🏥 The increase is heavily influenced by lifestyle choices that produce chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, sleep apnea and other medical problems that can lead to more likely developing AFib. ⌚️Luckily, consumer wearables devices are increasingly able to proactively identify heart conditions like AFIb in order to help identify preventative health actions. Accuracy of these devices is critical to gaining trust from physicians and eliminating the fatigue from too many false alarms. #AFib #PreventativeHealth #DigitalHealth #wearables https://lnkd.in/ggtNHP64
