The Heart Research Institute's Professor Ben Freedman discusses the link between dementia and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) with Channel 7 News, Australia.

“People with AF are at increased risk of dementia, and the link is independent of stroke and other risk factors,” said Professor Ben Freedman.

This story is from a major report published in Circulation, and was written by doctors working together in the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration across 37 countries.
