Join the AF Association and AC Forum in supporting Global AF Aware Week 2025, taking place November 17–23. This year’s theme, “Reset the Rhythm, Reclaim Your Life,” encourages individuals worldwide to take control of their heart health by learning about atrial fibrillation (AFib), checking their pulse, and taking proactive steps toward living well with this common heart rhythm disorder.
AFib does not have to define life for those diagnosed. With timely detection, the right treatment, and ongoing support, people with AF can live fully and fearlessly. This year’s campaign focuses on hope, empowerment, and the lifesaving importance of early detection. When left unidentified or untreated, AFib can lead to serious—and sometimes fatal—complications, including stroke and heart failure.
AFib is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder, affecting over 59 million people worldwide. Though often invisible, its impact can be severe:
Help spread the message by sharing campaign tools, engaging in awareness activities, and encouraging your communities to take action. All the resources you need to get involved are available here. Together, we can reset the rhythm for millions and improve AF awareness and care worldwide.

Despite the proven efficacy of oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and treating acute venous thromboembolism, many eligible patients either miss guideline-recommended therapy or receive incorrect dosages, leading to suboptimal outcomes. These gaps in clinician knowledge contribute to underuse, inappropriate dosing, and poor clinical decision-making, especially in high-risk populations.
