A member asked:
Does cardiac fibrosis increase stroke risk if there is so atrial fibrillation and the heart function is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By itself, the fibrosis just limits the strength of the heart muscle to contract as effectively. It would not have a direct effect on stroke risk.
