Abstract

The article offers information on relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolism. It mentions factors associated with embolic stroke after catheter ablation of AF over a long‐term follow‐up period; and also mentions peri‐atrial epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) which is associated with postablation embolic stroke.
