Non-Pharmacological Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation: Managing the Left Atrial Appendage
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing in parallel with an ageing population leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The most feared complication of AF is stroke, with the arrhythmia being responsible for up to 20% of all ischemic strokes. An important contributor to this inc...
