AF and dementia both affect older people and sicker people esp those that have vascular risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure and I am sure that is true to an extent and therefore it is also way crucial when we manage patients with AF, that we tackle additional risk factors. What about ablation?

Immediately after contrast injection into the LMCA, the patient had circulatory collapse, with a precipitous drop in blood pressure. An Impella device was placed to maintain cardiac output and perfusion pressures. You can see Left Main and Proximal LAD obstruction, but with some flow, which is saving this patient's life.
