The **VERITAS Study** is for people with a heart rhythm problem called *atrial fibrillation* (AF) who are at higher risk of stroke. Instead of taking blood-thinning medicine, they may use a device called the **Amulet™ 2**. This device blocks off a part of the heart called the *left atrial appendage* to help prevent clots that can cause strokes. People can join the study if they have AF without a specific heart valve problem and meet other health criteria. They cannot join if they have had certain heart surgeries or conditions recently. The study will include regular follow-ups to check the device's safety and effectiveness. Participants must be willing to stop taking blood thinners if the device works well.

• The study involves several follow-up visits to monitor the device.
• Participants must be 18 or older and willing to provide written consent.
• Some health conditions might exclude participation.
