Stanford Health Care | Atrial Fibrillation: Minimally Invasive Treatments @StanfordHospital | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 42 minutes ago.
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an abnormal rhythm of the heart that is common with increasing age. There are new, minimally invasive treatments available to treat AFib through catheters that eliminate the need to take blood thinners long term. Rahul Sharma, MBBS, FRACP, talks about these alternative treatments that allow faster post-procedure recovery and a faster return to normal activities.
Rahul P. Sharma, MBBS, FRACP, is the Director of Structural Interventions at Stanford Healthcare, Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.
