At his Nairobi clinic, Dr Daniel Nduiga sees between 100 and 150 patients with heart conditions each month, with at least two of those being newly diagnosed cases of atrial fibrillation (AFib).
AFib is a condition characterised by fast, irregular, and uncoordinated heartbeats.
A decade ago, such cases were rare and primarily seen in elderly patients. Today, however, AFib is appearing more frequently in younger and middle-aged patients, a trend that Dr Nduiga attributes to lifestyle changes.
