York AF Screening

Details

Boots Pharmacy Store, York

Findings

160 people were checked during a 4-hour period.

9% had an irregular heart rhythm suspected to be AF.

Arrhythmia Alliance offered free EKGs using the AliveCor portable EKG device to everyone who attended the ‘Know Your Pulse’ event. All of the individuals whose pulse checks revealed an irregular heart rhythm asked us to send the results of their EKG to their general physician.

After the event, Arrhythmia Alliance followed up with all of these physicians to educate them about the ‘Know Your Pulse’ events and to answer any questions.
