• Panel Discussion: The session will open with a panel of experts who will provide insights into the latest research and guidelines on risk factor modification, prevention, and stroke prevention in AFib, following up on the webinars that have been produced (30min including intros).
• Submitted Questions: To ensure the discussion is relevant and tailored to the audience's needs, we will be collecting questions from participants prior to the Townhall. These questions will be used to guide the panel discussion and ensure that key concerns and topics of interest are addressed.
