Clinical Trial Alert: New CardiaMend Patch to Stop Post-Op Atrial Fibrillation
Published: July 12, 2023
Post-operative AFib is a BIG PROBLEM that impacts up to 30% of heart surgery patients. For that reason, I was very interested to learn about an innovative, new clinical trial evaluating the CardiaMend patch for the prevention of post-op AFib. To get the details about the CardiaMend clinical trial, click here to see my new interview with Dr. Robert Saeid Farivar.
Many thanks to Dr. Farivar, Saint Alphonsus Health and Helios Cardio for their work on this clinical trial!
Keep on tickin!
