The Emmy Award-winning, soap superstar actresses Susan Luccy seems to be talking about Atrial Fibrillation and risk of heart stroke related to the disease. Susan is getting serious about the AFib just after her 41 years-old husband” Helmut Huber (leading man of her life) was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia (the second name of AFid). His husband is one of those 2.3 millions Americans, who are fighting the war of their life against the same disease. AF or atrial fibrillation is a set of heterogeneous conditions in which electric impulse behaves in an abnormal manner thereby traveling through the atria increasing the risk of stroke five-fold.
Helmut was diagnosed with AF a decade ago; now the couple is striving to help those Americans, who are living with the disease and condition by contributing in a national program “Facing AFib, Get Serious About Stroke™”. Susan and Her husband are not pledged to learn more about atrial fibrillation, and they are trying to create general awareness about the disease, its major risk, and other methods that can help a person reduce the risk of stroke. TV star Susan Lucci talks about stroke and other conditions openly in the pubic and has been contributing in many campaigns- among many programs she has been playing a vital role in Boehringer Ingelheim’s new atrial fibrillation awareness campaign. It’s an uphill task to fight with an irregular heart beat which runs at an irregular interval. The beat is either very fast or low to feel putting one’s life at the risk of strokes, sometimes it also results in sudden death. Susan and her husband are doing their level best to encourage all suffering from the same condition- perhaps awareness and hopes can help one understand AF and win the war of life.
