About Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Study
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common heart condition characterized by an irregular heart rhythm in the upper chambers (atria). Afib is one of the common types of arrythmias and present symptoms like fatigue, palpitations, difficulty in breathing, and dizziness.
Hightower Clinical conducted a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) occlusion device as an alternative to NOAC therapy in patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for stroke. The goal was to provide insight into whether the device can be a safer and more effective long-term option for stroke prevention compared to NOACs.
