Podcasts
Dr. Robert Canby, Dr. Rawan Albadareen, and Dr. Dhanunjaya R. Lakkireddy discuss ECG monitoring for AFib following ischemic stroke. Improve outcomes for individuals who have experienced an ischemic stroke by utilizing long-term ECG monitoring to identify AFib and initiate anticoagulation to prevent subsequent strokes where necessary. Learn about the role of catheter ablation, left atrial appendage occlusion and new Factor XI Inhibitors in patients with stroke and AFib. Understand access to care issues and the impact of race, gender, and socioeconomic status on stroke care.
