From the age of 45 onwards, approximately one in three to five people will develop atrial fibrillation (AF).

AF is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders worldwide, yet many people remain undiagnosed until serious complications occur.

Recognising symptoms such as palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness, and fatigue could make all the difference.

Why is WHRW2026 Important?
Arrhythmias cause over 100,000 sudden cardiac deaths annually in the UK - more than 250 deaths every day, exceeding the combined total of deaths from breast cancer, lung cancer, and AIDS
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia, leads to 12,000 AF-related strokes each year - many of these strokes can be prevented with early diagnosis and appropriate anticoagulation therapy
By age 40, everyone has a 25% lifetime risk of developing AF, which increases the risk of stroke by 500%
Currently, there is no national programme for pulse checks or heart rhythm screening in the UK. WHRW2026 aims to raise awareness and advocate for the early detection of heart rhythm disorders to save lives

A-A is a coalition of charities, patient groups, patients, carers, medical groups and allied professionals. A-A provides support, information, education, and awareness to all those affected by or involved in the care of cardiac arrhythmias.

World Environment Day 2026: Climate Action

The planet doesn’t argue. It doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals—rising seas, raging wildfires, heatwaves, melting glaciers. We said 1.5°C was the limit. We are crossing it.

For decades, the world has heard the climate story—warnings, targets, distant deadlines. Too often, the response has been clouded by noise: delay, distraction, denial.

But listen closer now. Beneath the noise, another signal is rising. Solar panels stretch across rooftops. Wind turbines line the horizon. Cities are being redesigned for people. Forests are being replanted. Positive tipping points are taking root in every corner of the planet.

World Environment Day 2026 focuses on climate change—on the urgent signals the Earth is sending and the signals we choose to send back. UNEP’s global campaign calls on all of us to step in, to move further, to steer a world already in motion. The question is no longer if change comes, but how we guide it and how fast it happens.

World Environment Day joins the UNEP-led this year to mobilize communities worldwide to implement and advocate for solutions.

In atrial fibrillation (AF), the heart’s upper chambers quiver instead of beating normally. This causes an irregular heart rhythm and less efficient blood flow throughout the body.

AF can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other serious complications - yet many people do not realise they have it.

Symptoms may include palpitations, fatigue, dizziness, breathlessness, or sometimes no symptoms at all.

This World Heart Rhythm Week, help raise awareness by sharing this post and encouraging others to learn more about AF.
