Current indications for left atrial appendage occlusion

Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie
Clemens Jilek, Thorsten Lewalter

Abstract

Among patients with atrial fibrillation, the bleeding risk is linked to the stroke risk. Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion may reduce bleeding risk in high-risk patients. On the basis of a literature analysis and the Consensus Document of European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), the indications for a LAA occluder are clarified and a clear decision strategy for daily clinical practice is presented.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
