| Abstract | This is the accepted manuscript version of a published work that appeared in final form in the British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, copyright (c) MA Healthcare, after technical editing by the publisher. To access the final edited and published work see Editorial. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of stroke; many people are unaware that they suffer from this condition because they have few or no symptoms. Routine pulse checking in clinical practice, and teaching pulse checking to patients, can be life saving interventions. |
