AFIB Atrial Fibrillation Institute at St. Vincent's HealthCare, Jacksonville

This :30 TV Spot is being used to help St. Vincents HealthCare in Jacksonville, Florida, announce a new Atrial Fibrillation Institute. The institute is a collaboration between cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and the hospital. It is designed to offer patients access to the latest advances from physicians working together to create treatment options designed for each individual patient.
Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder or arrhythmia. It forces the heart to quiver rapidly rather than beating in a normal, rhythmic pattern. The disorder leads to a greater risk of stroke, heart failure and death. It is estimated that as many as 3 million Americans experience Atrial Fibrillation. More than 180,000 people are diagnosed with AFIB each year.

Atrial Fibrillation affects so many people in our community, says Christine Veal, RN, MSN, St. Vincents Director of Cardiovascular Services. In addition to being at a higher risk of stroke, AFIB patients are often living a quality of life that is less than what they want. Thanks to advances in treatment, new opportunities for a cure are in place at our institute. We are very excited about this chance to help patients.
