ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND HEART VALVE DISEASE FREE PATIENT EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR "The New Era of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Interventions for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Tom Waggoner Structural Heart Cardiologist Fibrillation and Heart Valve Diseases" Atrial Fibrillation or AFIB is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications. At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFIB. Patients with AFIB are normally treated by a cardiologist. Stroke is at least 5 times more likely to occur in patients with atrial fibrillation. Treatments to reduce stroke risk, usually blood thinners, can require dlose monitoring and carry significant risk of bleeding. The left atrial appendage is the portion of the heart where more than 90% of stroke causing clots form. The Watchman" left atrial appendage closure device is an implant designed to close the left atrial appendage, trapping potential stroke causing clots and, thus, potentially alleviating the future need for blood thinners. Heart valve disease occurs when the heart valves do not work the way they should. According to the American Heart Association, about 5 million Americans are diagnosed with heart valve disease each year. Treatments to reduce heart valve disease such as aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation are improving with new minimally invasive cardiac interventions. Come join us for a free educational event with Dr. Tom Waggoner (Structural Heart Cardiologist) and learn about the causes of AFIB and heart valve disease and how to recognize if you have the condition and different treatment options for the different heart conditions. Dr. Waggoner is a Structural Heart Cardiologist at Tucson Medical Center. DATE: Saturday, February 29, 2020 TIME: 10:00 am 11:30 am PLACE: Canoa Ranch Golf Resort 5775 S. Camino Del Sol Green Valley, AZ 85622 Free Breakfast will be provided RSVP (480) 662-6702 or marcus.neal@bsci.com ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND HEART VALVE DISEASE FREE PATIENT EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR "The New Era of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Interventions for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Tom Waggoner Structural Heart Cardiologist Fibrillation and Heart Valve Diseases" Atrial Fibrillation or AFIB is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications.
