Women with Afib are often diagnosed later than men and may present with different symptom patterns—factors that can influence timing and treatment pathways.
Recognizing these differences is key to improving timely identification and optimizing outcomes in Afib management.

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is more than a source of stroke risk—it can also contribute to the abnormal electrical activity that sustains Afib. Durable LAA exclusion with electrical isolation may help support rhythm stabilization and a return to sinus rhythm as part of a more complete treatment strategy.
Comprehensive Afib care means managing the LAA.
Explore why electrically isolating the LAA matters in Afib: https://okt.to/LWmJ8h#LAAExclusion#Afib
Stroke risk remains one of the most serious consequences of untreated Afib.
During Stroke Awareness Month, it’s a reminder that addressing Afib during cardiac surgery through approaches like surgical ablation and left atrial appendage management can play a meaningful role in reducing stroke risk and supporting long-term outcomes.
Treat the rhythm. Help change the trajectory.

In the ICE-AFIB Trial, patients who received concomitant Cox-Maze III lesions using the cryoICE cryoFORM® Cryoablation probe during cardiac surgery experienced improvements in quality of life.*
Mean QoL scores* improved by +32 points at 12 and 24 months compared to baseline – demonstrating durable benefit over time.

*As calculated from the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) questionnaire. A 5-point change is considered clinically meaningful.
1 in 3 people having cardiac surgery already have Afib.
Afib is a common heart rhythm condition that can increase the risk of stroke and other complications—but many people don’t even realize they have it.

Joseph faced a below‑the‑knee amputation to stop a life‑threatening infection. During surgery, his surgeon used Cryo Nerve Block Therapy to help manage the post‑operative pain. Joseph says that with less pain, he’s accomplished many of the goals he had set for himself.
