Study reveals blood pooling in heart chambers of atrial fibrillation patients

Researchers used computer modeling to show that patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation experience abnormal blood flow patterns even when their heart rhythm appears normal. The finding could help identify which patients face higher stroke risk and inform development of better treatment strategies for this common heart condition affecting millions worldwide.
