Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) have a risky bidirectional relationship. Hear from Carol Patrick, RNFA, ACNP-BC, FPCNA, as she explores this relationship and the different management and prevention techniques. Learn also about how cancer can increase a patient's risk for AFib and VTE.
