answer text <p>According to our latest estimates, there are about 16,000 strokes as a consequence of atrial fibrillation (AF) per year in England. The average cost of stroke in the first year after onset is £13,459 in health costs and £8,716 in social care costs totalling £22,175. After five years the accumulated costs are £45,233. An AF related stroke is on average more severe than other strokes and the average five year costs are nearer £60,000.</p> more like this
