Hannah Abrams: Today we have a discussion about the association between atrial fibrillation and pulmonary embolism. We are joined as always by my co-host, Avi Cooper. Tony Brew: I began to wonder a few years ago why AFib isn't considered a risk factor for PE. Why? Because if the right atria is beating chaotically, why wouldn't this predispose to the formation of a thrombus?"
