atrial-fibrillation-the-search-for-equilibrium

Alexander W. R. Bridges, MD, offers the insight of a cardiothoracic surgeon to an engaging discussion of atrial fibrillation, its causes, risk factors, pathophysiology, populations affected, and treatments. The object of therapy, Dr. Bridges attests, is to stabilize the heart rhythm and reduce the lifetime risk of stroke and heart failure. Dr Bridges reviews the Cox-Maze 3 procedure, left atrial appendage removal, percutaneous ablation, and other advances for atrial fibrillation at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health.
