Just as all types of systems do, sometimes the heart system malfunctions. When a Boulder/Broomfield senior's system becomes faulty or malfunctions, the normal and regular heartbeat becomes affected and irregular. Atrial fibrilation is the number one malfunction for Boulder/Broomfield seniors, which results most often in erractic and speedy heartbeats. It is important to stay on top of heart health, as Boulder/Broomfield seniors who suffer from A-Fib can suffer from life-long health issues. For example, blood clots form when the heartbeat does not beat correctly, and the blood settles int he upper chambers of the heart. This is a serious issue as that those who have A-Fib are five times more likely to suffer from strokes.
