PPT-Workshop on Atrial Fibrillation

Group 6 The most common type of arrhythmia irregular heartbeat In AF atria contract very fast and irregularly Atria get pooled by blood Blood not being able to go into ventricles completely. The LAA is a normal part of the heart anatomy and causes no problems in the general population However this pouch is a major source of blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation Atrial fibrillation AF is the biggest risk factor for blood clots  MANAGING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF) (MODULE 2) MODULE 2: MANAGING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ii \r\f\n \t\b
