Atrial fibrillation often causes the heart to beat irregularly. This can lead to heart failure and is even associated with Alzheimer's disease. Atrial fibrillation is usually treated by a cardiologist. However, if atrial fibrillation is very persistent, a cardiac surgeon is also called in for hybrid ablation in addition to the cardiologist. Prof. Dr. Thorsten Hanke, chief physician of the cardiac surgery clinic at the Asklepios Klinikum Harburg https://www.asklepios.com/details/arz... explains who is eligible for hybrid therapy for atrial fibrillation, how such an operation is carried out and how patients benefit from it. #asklepios #atrial fibrillation #hybridtherapy ???? ????
