In the ER they told me "Nobody dies from afib - it's the blood clots that get you later on."
But it seems like people *do* die from afib unless I am reading various accounts incorrectly. Wilt Chamberlain, for example....
My cardio guy takes copious notes and he can tell my *exactly* what I said three visits ago.... but he doesn't volunteer much and the drugs he has me on (beta blocker and anti-coagulant) have sent my quality of life right down the toilet.
I'm shopping for another cardio guy - somebody older with more practical experience and a more talkative personality.
Until then, I thought I'd troll the veritable font of knowledge that is this forum.....
