Number of UK people with heart rhythm condition rises by 50% in a decade
www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/new...
Atrial fibrillation, 1.5 million sufferers in the UK
1milloin in 2013 - a 50% rise over the decade.
One in 45 people in the UK
Five times more likely to stroke, potentially fatal or life-changing
Believed to contribute to one in five strokes
Estimated, at least another 270,000 people undiagnosed
(= 1,770,000)
Symptoms of atrial fibrillation
Palpitations
Breathlessness
Dizziness
Paroxysmal
Our medical director Professor Sir Nilesh Samani
These figures show a quite astonishing rise in the number of people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
Research has helped us understand the links between atrial fibrillation and stroke
We also need to continue to harness the power of science to develop new and innovative tools for identifying people at increased risk
BHF
The figures have been released as we launch a new campaign calling on the public to support our research
The campaign aims to inspire people’s wonder at the complexity and preciousness of their own hearts and how lifesaving research can help if it goes wrong.
Questions
What was the rate of increase or change in prevalence during 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023?
Has the increase been correlated with any particular factors that have changed between 2019 and 2023?
What is the strength of any possible correlations?
Is there temporality with possible correlations?
Is there a plausible mechanism to explain correlations?
How do UK figures of increased AF relate to other countries?
Are there any common factors that connect potential changes across differing countries?

See a GP or call 111 if:
• you have chest pain that comes and goes
• you have chest pain that goes away quickly but you're still worried
• you notice a sudden change in your heartbeat
• your heart rate is consistently lower than 60 or above 100 (particularly if you're experiencing other symptoms of atrial fibrillation, such as dizziness and shortness of breath)
It's important to get medical advice to make sure it's nothing serious.
Totally safe, totally effective, totally normal for people to now have heart attacks in their 20’s
My husband (60s) and son-in-law (40s) both developed Afib last fall. Both were treated at the same well-respected university hospital here in the US. Neither was ever asked if they had had the virus or the 💉. When questioned about the potential cause, obesity, drinking, and sleep apnea were cited. When we pointed out that none of these applied to my husband (it should have been obvious that obesity wasn’t an issue 🙄), age was blamed. The doctors insisted that no data was being collected to determine if AFib was on the rise even though this was a research institution. Any mention of the virus or the 💉 clearly made staff uncomfortable and resulted in a quick change of topic. Drugs were promptly prescribed and promptly made both of them feel terrible. We had to push for a cardioversion for my husband, and my son-in-law required an ablation. It was obvious that the medical staff had been instructed not to draw even possible parallels between AFib and you-know-what. Again, this was at a highly respected university hospital.
I used to donate to the BHF with a regular direct debit - as soon as I saw their adverts normalising sudden death in teenagers, I stopped my donation - they are supposed to be an independent charity concerned with improving heart health - not pretending this explosion heart issues is "normal" - particularly amongst teens - they should be shining a light on these issues, holding government policy to account - not running PsyOp smokescreens for the government helping to cover up the enormous harms that have been committed in the name of healthcare. Shame on you BHF - shame on you.
Here in NZ I have been to the hospital 3 times now with AF. With all the symptoms described here. I have even taken a printout I had recorded. Each time they have done blood tests and confirmed I had not had a heart attack or a stroke. Then I'm told, go back to my GP. The last time I left the hospital still with chest pains. I was told this is the emergency dept, go back to my GP. It looks like they would rather I had a heart attack or stroke, then they will sort that out, assuming I'm not already dead. It then takes 2/3 weeks for a GP appointment. He then writes to the hospital for an appointment in 2-6 months. How things have changed.
You describe my symptoms to a Tee! Five days after the first dose, I was in the hospital. Four days after the second dose I was again in t he Hospital. I trusted the system and the insistence the jab was safe and effective. I did not make the connection then. When I went the cardiologist, he asked when my heart rate started to change. After thinking a bit, "Right after the Vaccine". He shot back, "That is impossible!"
Never had heart rhythm problems. Six months after my #2 jab, my heart rate had dropped into the 40's. My doctor only gave me an ECG, said nothing, and sent me on my way. Six months later, I wound up in urgent care with a HR in the 20's. I was immediately sent to ER, and next day a pacemaker was put in. I have no doubt that the jab was the cause. I absolutely HATE the medical establishment for doing so much harm.
My wife was taken into hospital last June with svt, heart rate of 230+ After 4 days on cardiology ward she was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and has been on beta blockers and asprin since.
On the last part of 2020, my brother got Covid, but had hardly any symptoms. When the injections came out he took the AZ one. Months later, he started having fainting spells. After some studies he was diagnosed with AF, Brudaga Syndrome and was implanted a Fibrilator. He is 68, fit and we have no familial history of cardiac problems. Later he had some pain by the clavicle area, an ultrasound revealed a clot. The times we live in...mysterious statistics and vague numbers on medical articles.
My fit/healthy 50 yo (at the time) husband had a mild stroke 10 weeks after his first AZ shot in early 2021. At my insistence (I’m not jabbed), he asked the neurologist and cardiologist if the stroke could be related to the jab. They were very quick (too quick) to categorically assure him that it wasn’t the jab. A loop recorder was implanted in his chest and he was sent home.
Thank you Dr Campbell this is an outrage. You have far more support in very high places then you realise. We salute you Sir. 👏👏👏👍❤️❤️❤️
I am a former RN. I got a "virus" in late 2019 before we knew what it was ( November), and it caused my heart to go into AFib! I had no history of any heart conditions and I was not on any medications of any kind. My ejection fraction went down to 35% and I had a fever and a persistent cough. I was in ICU for five days and in Cardiac Care for two more. Since then I have been on a blood thinner,(Apixiban) a beta-blocker (Metoprolol), and Losartan for blood pressure. My bloodwork was good except for an increased white count and a fever. I also had a left bundle branch block and was in heart failure. I had just turned 65. It was all quite a shock. I was in normal sinus rhythm until Feb 2022 when I was found to be back in AFib at a routine follow-up visit with my Cardiologist. I have been in and out of AFib since then. My ejection fraction went back up to 55 in 2019 after the initial hospital stay and after the virus subsided. Last February it went down to 45. The concern is has it gone back up since then? I can have an Echocardiogram in early November and it is planned for then. If I get short of breath or feel I am picking up fluid then I will contact my Cardiologist. I seem to only pick up fluid in my abdomen and not in my ankles when or if it occurs which has not occurred since I was in hospital. Some days like today I feel great, but once in a while not so great, and all since I got the virus. I am in the USA.
After my 2nd dose I know I went into an irregular arrhythmia(RN so I had a head start), SOB, chest pain & was fainting. When I was in my 30’s after a hysterectomy I started having regular palpitations & was on metropolol for a year or two & it resolved. My housemate is on metropolol so he ran me one & I took it. I believed it saved my life. This was during the “heyday” of COVID & my doctor’s was closed for months(really insane). I could hardly think so calling 911 wasn’t on my radar. I know you can’t tell paramedics, nurses or doctors what you need even if it causes you increased pain, distress & even death. I know our healthcare system too well. Egos are a HUGE problem. Anyway I’ve been on it & am quite terrified to every go off of it. Even tho I’m not a chronic user of pharmaceuticals. But I really felt like I was dying- like nothing I had ever felt before & I have an extensive health history despite trying to minimize my visits. I’ve fainted once in the past & it didn’t phase me because I believed I was dehydrated & had moved too quickly from a sitting position years ago. This was entirely different. I want to meet god but not any quicker than most 😅 stay healthy my friends. I eat very healthy, exercise, have regular contact with people. And best of all I have my pets which really are a help to your health ❤❤❤ Love & Solidarity to all. Love & appreciate Dr.John 💯🙏💙
Im an RN and I had a heart attack 2 months after the 2nd moderna shot. I was 54 and my LDL was never worse than 110 and overall cholesterol no more than 210. I never eat fast food, no drug /alcoholabuse and just a few cigars here and there. I find it absloutely amazing that we consider ourselves a "scientific" society but cant bring ourselves to even acknowledge the possibility of how the pharmaceutical industry may be killing people. Im not saying this is the cause but it has to be considered.
I can't believe how many people rolled up their sleeves and said baaaa. THAT is the really scary part. So many people never questioned "authority".
A friend of mines son died during a heart stress test at 45 , after he noticed his heart was fluttering.He had no prior heart conditions, no history in the family.
i went in for a regular check-up early last December. My dr. noticed my weight was up, my blood pressure was very high, and my pulse was very high and irregular. He recommended I go to the emergency room to get checked out. They diagnosed me with Afib. By evening I could not walk 20 feet without my pulse exceeding 150. I was started on multiple heart medications, and had a cardioversion procedure. An ECG detected I also had heart failure. The cardiac team put me on dietary, salt, and water restrictions. They recommended a minimum amount of exercise daily, and I went to cardiac rehab for a month. Yesterday I had a follow-up appointment. My BP was low, my pulse was low (still a bit of Afib, though), and my heart failure had improved markedly. Thank you cardiac team! I'm hoping for continued improvement in my heart condition in the coming months. The question that came to mind right from the onset was did the covid virus or vaccine contribute to this condition? The fact that the government agencies aren't releasing any information about the timing of the Afib increase seems very telling.
My mom, who is now 80. Had an ablation, that had stopped her a-fib. A couple weeks post covid jab, her a-fib returned. She took 2 doses and a booster, recommended by her docs and everyone in the family, except myself. She began having almost daily long episodes of a-fib. Doc put her on amiodarone, which has controlled the a-fib, however the side effects are horrible. Those shots damaged her health greatly. My very fit 84 year old father had a very fast growing cancer, post 3 covid jabs. Fortunately it was successfully removed. Turns out they shouldn't have gotten the jabs. However none of my siblings and nieces and nephews, have said a word about how they vehemently demanded my parents get the jabs, if they wanted to see their great grandchildren. I no longer trust most of my family. Sad times. Safe and effective..........
I work in cardiology and I can safely say that in the last 2 years the rates of AF have definitely gone up - AF used to be seen in more elderly patients however now we are seeing really young patients with AF which we did not see before:
Both myself my husband and all three of my adult children now have random palpitations. All of us have been vaccinated except one. All of us have had covid. No previous underlying conditions. Definitely something going on which no one wants to be accountable for. The damage is too great.
29 when I got my first shot, no mention of any side effects. Just told to take panadol.
