Brothers Having AF. Chances Of Developing AF For Me?
Hi, I am a 76 year old male in good health and active in golf,bowling (2 times per week),and volley-ball (3 times per week). I have two older brothers who both have A.F. and my oldest brother,79 years old had a minor stroke about 9 months ago which left him having trouble speaking.
What are my chances of developing the same problem? They have had the A.F. symptons for several years (5-10)
