World Heart Rhythm Week

World Heart Rhythm Week (WHRW) is an annual global campaign held to raise awareness about arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms).
It aims to promote the detection and diagnosis of heart rhythm disorders through simple actions like checking your pulse.

Checking your pulse manually is a simple, cost-effective way to catch an irregular heartbeat early.

How to Check Your Pulse
1. Place your index and middle fingers on the inside of your wrist, just below the base of your thumb.
2. Count the beats you feel for 30 seconds, then multiply that number by 2 to get your beats per minute (bpm).
3. A normal resting pulse for an adult is typically between 60 and 100 bpm.

Key Symptoms to Recognize
Many people live with heart rhythm disorders—such as Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)—without knowing it.

You should consult a healthcare professional if you frequently experience:
* Palpitations (a fluttering or racing heartbeat)
* Dizziness or lightheadedness
* Fainting or feeling faint (syncope)
* Unexplained fatigue or shortness of breath

Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a story.

As part of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness, we had the privilege of hearing from Jason Van't Slot, who shared his journey of living with cystic fibrosis.

His story highlights the realities of a chronic genetic condition and the importance of early diagnosis, ongoing care, and strong support systems.

Through our genetics services, we remain committed to enabling earlier identification of inherited conditions like CF, supporting better clinical decision-making and improved patient outcomes.

Thank you, Jason, for helping to deepen understanding and awareness of cystic fibrosis.

💜 Together, we continue to raise awareness and strengthen genetic health.
