Sir Roger Moore gives his support to a campaign called Know Your Pulse - linked to this year's Arrhythmia Awareness Week (8-14 June). This campaign is encouraging the public to learn how to take their pulse on a regular basis, as it is one of the most effective ways of identifying a potential cardiac arrhythmia.A cardiac arrhythmia is caused by a heartbeat that is too fast, too slow, or irregular. Sir Roger Moore, having experienced such a problem himself in 2003, has joined forces with Arrhythmia Alliance (http://www.heartrhythmcharity.org.uk/) to help raise awareness of cardiac arrhythmia with this video where he demonstrates how to take your pulse:
