PARTNER RELEASE: BMS-Pfizer Alliance Launch a ‘No Time to Wait’ Campaign Urging Doctor Visits During COVID-19

The Bristol Myers Squibb-Pfizer Alliance, with support of leading advocacy organizations, launched the No Time to Wait campaign to raise awareness of symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary embolism (PE). Seeking medical attention early may help reduce the chance of AFib leading to, or DVT/PE becoming, something more serious. AFib, the most common irregular heartbeat, increases the risk for stroke by approximately five times.2 DVT is a condition where the blood forms clots, which could travel to your lungs and lead to a PE — and be deadly.3,4,5 To learn more about AFib and DVT/PE, including the associated symptoms and how to prepare for a healthcare appointment, visit www.NoTimetoWait.com.
