A Car Crash & A Broken Heart - Dr. Bao Tran on Post-Traumatic Atrial Fibrillation

Dr. David Grundy and Sydney Delaney Episode 5

In this episode, we're honored to discuss a case of post-traumatic atrial fibrillation with Dr. Bao Tran, one of the best interventional cardiologists in the Bay Area. 
We discuss how even "minor" trauma to the chest can sometimes lead to this complex and costly heart condition. Also discussed are consideration of the future medical costs and lifetime risks for this patient. Finally, some other, more exotic cardiac conditions that can follow after traumatic injuries are discussed.
