After menopause an estimated 1 in 4 women may develop irregular heart rhythms -; known as atrial fibrillation – in their lifetime, with stressful life events and insomnia being major contributing factors, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
Atrial fibrillation may lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure or other cardiovascular complications. It primarily affects older adults, and more than 12 million people in the U.S. are expected to develop atrial fibrillation by 2030, according to the American Heart Association.
