Heart Month: Watching Over the Heart and Brain

Episode 27

Did you know a stroke can come straight from the heart? Gain more insight from our discussion between D. Sean Stewart, M.D., cardiologist with Norton Heart & Vascular Institute, and Rosa Hart, stroke nurse navigator with Norton Neuroscience Institute. Dr. Stewart explains the role of the anatomy of the heart in clot formation during atrial fibrillation (A-fib), putting someone with A-fib at risk for stroke. He also explains how an implant called a Watchman device protects against clot formation and can decrease the need for taking blood-thinning medications.
