OT for elders here: Got afib?
Simple surgery prevents strokes in afib patients
"Removing left atrial appendage cuts the risk of strokes by more than one-third in patients with atrial fibrillation"
"Researchers found that removing the left atrial appendage -- an unused, finger-like tissue that can trap blood in the heart chamber and increase the risk of clots -- cuts the risk of strokes by more than one-third in patients with atrial fibrillation.
"Even better, the reduced clotting risk comes on top of any other benefits conferred by blood-thinner medications patients with this condition are usually prescribed.
"This will prevent a great burden of suffering due to stroke," Connolly said.
