Patient Alert! New Atrial Fibrillation Treatment Guidelines to Prevent Stroke!

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Big News! The American Heart Association (AHA) just updated its guidelines for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat, during heart valve surgery to prevent stroke risks. In this special interview, Dr. Patrick McCarthy explains why the new guidelines are so important for patients who have heart valve disease and atrial fibrillation. Dr. McCarthy is a heart valve expert that specializes in atrial fibrillation at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. Key questions addressed by Dr. McCarthy in this interview include: 1. Why were the AHA guidelines for the treatment of atrial fibrillation during open heart surgery for conditions including heart valve disease and coronary artery disease updated? 2. What is the left atrial appendage? What are the stroke risks associated with the left atrial appendage? 3. What is the surgical process to "clip" the left atrial appendage? How long does it take? Should the clip always be used during heart valve disease and coronary artery disease surgery? 4. What is the decrease in stroke risk resulting from the occlusion of the left atrial appendage during open heart surgery?
