Thanks for these articles. I had some kind of atrial ablation 5 years ago after one significant episode of atrial flutter landed me in the ER and then a failure of meds followed. If I feel any "skipped beats" or a cluster of rapid ones I hold my nose and cough hard and that seems to make it stop. Have been prone to this when severely fatigued all my life. Though I still admire and even venerate the EP who treated me I'm hoping I never see him again.

This is a great study, but is it going to answer the question we all want answered (only a secondary endpoint)? Don’t we already know the answer to the primary endpoint, that Afib burden will be less as already addressed in previous studies?

But alas, I am ashamed that we rely on other countries to answer these important questions. Lack of motivation/integrity in the US healthcare system is the only reasonable conclusion as to why we don’t.
