Answer to Question 1

Atrial fibrillation often occurs in patients with CAD and HTN.

Answer to Question 2

Clots (thrombi) may develop in the fibrillating atria as a result of stasis of the blood. These clots may
travel as emboli to the brain, causing a stroke, or to the lungs, causing pulmonary emboli.
