Atrial Fibrillation and PTSD in Veterans Disability | All you Need to Know
In the YouTube video "(196) Atrial Fibrillation and PTSD in Veterans Disability | All you Need to Know," Leah B, a U.S. Army veteran and physician assistant, explains the connection between atrial fibrillation (AFib) and PTSD in veterans. AFib, an electrical heart disorder characterized by an irregular and rapid heart rhythm, can lead to serious complications like blood clots and stroke. Leah discusses how veterans can be service-connected for AFib, emphasizing the necessity of a current diagnosis and a nexus linking the condition to an in-service event or another disability. She highlights that AFib can be directly service-connected or related to other issues like cardiac disorders or sleep apnea. Particularly, she focuses on the relationship between AFib and PTSD, referencing studies that show psychological stress contributing to arrhythmias. Leah encourages viewers to empower themselves with this knowledge and consult with professionals for potential service connection.
