    There is a lot of outdated information out there about atrial fibrillation, so let’s get the facts straight.

    Watch the video above to learn the truth about five common misconceptions about AFib, or read the written summary below.

    1. Only Elderly People Get AFib

    While the likelihood of developing AFib increases dramatically with age, young people can develop it, too.

    2. AFib Is Just a Benign Heart Irregularity

    People with AFib are more likely to form blood clots, which increase stroke risk, and to develop heart failure — so it’s important to keep the condition well managed.

    3. Once You Have AFib, Your Heart Will Beat Abnormally Forever

    With proper treatment, most people who have AFib develop a normal heart rhythm.

    4. If You Have AFib You Shouldn’t Fly

    Most people who have AFib can fly on a commercial plane with no problems.

    5. Blood Thinners Remove All Risk of Blood Clots Forming

    The use of blood thinners reduces the risk, but you can still develop dangerous blood clots.
