Cardiovascular

Millions of Americans have atrial fibrillation, or AFib, the most common type of heart arrhythmia.1 It is estimated that by 2030 AFib will affect 12.1 million people in the United States.2 When AFib is allowed to progress over time, episodes may occur more frequently or last longer and potentially lead to serious life-threatening complications.3 At Sanofi, we are combining our vast experience and trusted brands with the power of technology and digital innovation to develop simplified, tailored care solutions that will help the management of cardiovascular conditions including AFib.
