The National Stroke Association is partnering with the Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer Alliance and iHeartMedia on the Tune in to AFib campaign to educate people living with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem about their 5X increased risk of stroke.
The campaign uses music to inspire people to work with their doctor to learn how to help reduce their risk of stroke.

At 21, Kayla experienced a hemorrhagic stroke that left her unable to read, write and walk. But, soon the right side of her brain—the creative side—began to take over.
She made a dress which she says was a “visual representation of me getting back to my ‘normal’ life as well as me being a fighter and a stroke survivor.”
The dresses, which ultimately were sold to others, “showed me an entrepreneurial spirit to create things that bring other people joy.”
Now she is married and the mother of a son who is a daily reminder of “the miracle of life.”
