In this special edition of Highway to Health on Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes Dr. Miguel Leal, American Heart Association national volunteer expert and associate professor of medicine at Emory University.

Professional drivers spend long hours on the road, often putting their own health last. But conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib) can’t be ignored. AFib is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, affecting more than 6 million people in the U.S. — and it can increase your risk of stroke by up to 5 times.

In this conversation, Jimmy and Dr. Leal discuss:

What AFib is and why it matters for truck drivers

Signs and symptoms every driver should know

The link between AFib and stroke risk

How to take control of your health on and off the road

Anyone can develop AFib. Know the signs, understand your risk, and talk to your doctor.
