Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots. Regular physical activity can strengthen the heart and improve circulation. Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly. Antiarrhythmics to help manage abnormal heart rhythms.

As an alternative therapeutic option, LVAD heart pumps have been implanted to help patients with end-stage heart failure sustain blood circulation in the body. However, there are shortcomings associated with LVAD implantation: complications include infection, blood clotting (thrombosis), stroke and bleeding.

When skin is cut or damaged, tiny cell fragments circulating in the blood, called platelets, arrive at the injury and spread out to stop the blood from leaking out. Once enough layers of platelets accumulate, like stacks of sandbags against a flood, a blood clot is formed, trapping red blood cells.

Acute obstruction of the pulmonary circulation by a blood clot can lead to circulatory failure with a high mortality rate. High-risk acute pulmonary embolism affects around 5% of all pulmonary embolisms and can take a dramatic course even in young people.

Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. Circulation. Unlike paroxysmal AF, which describes symptoms that last for seven days or fewer, persistent AF is a sustained arrhythmia that lasts for more than a week 1.

For ischemic stroke, which accounts for 87% of all strokes [3], the benefits of delivering intra-arterial treatment (IAT) – catheter-based procedures to mechanically disrupt or remove blood clots (mechanical thrombectomy) and/or inject clot-busting agents – within 6 hours of symptom onset, are widely accepted [4].
