The Cardiology Department at LAU Medical Center–Rizk Hospital successfully held a two-day Patient Awareness Initiative on Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Left Atrial Appendage Closure on September 28 and 29, 2026, in collaboration with Boston Scientific and led by Dr. Georges Ghanem and Dr. Johnny Abboud.
The initiative aimed to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation, highlight available treatment options, and emphasize the importance of early evaluation and proper management. Throughout the two days, attendees had the opportunity to undergo ECG screenings conducted by the Cardiology team and reviewed by our physicians, helping promote early detection and informed decisions about heart health.
