Stroke[1] is a serious risk for patients with atrial fibrillation[2], which is caused by a disruption of electrical signals in the muscles of the upper chambers of the heart. When the heart pumps in an irregular, uncoordinated way, there is a decreased flow of blood to the body, which is typically slow moving and likely to cause a blood clot. In the majority of cases, the clots form in the left atrial appendage, a small, pouchlike sac in the top left chamber of the heart. If the clots travel through the arteries in the heart, they can cause a stroke.

If you are a patient with atrial fibrillation who is at increased stroke risk, your doctor will recommend that you be placed on a blood thinner. If you are unable to take a blood thinner because of risk of bleeding or falls, your doctor may recommend a procedure to occlude your left atrial appendage.
