And no worries on the LA size right now. It can take 9 months or so to start seeing real reduction in LA size from reverse remodeling and even longer .. Especially if there is moderate fibrosis and scarring .

When the fibrosis is longer term and more entrenched there will be a limit on just how far the reverse remodeling and removal of fibrosis can continue, regardless of what means are used the we know of... But for the vast majority long term consistent NSR will result in substantial reverse remodeling to a decent degree and all for the better and that will help reduce LA volume a good deal.

In my case, with such an extensive AFIB history it took around 3 years or a bit less to reverse my LA size all the way down to where both right and left atria are totally normal size again just where there were at my first echo when I was 40 years old ... Almost 25 years ago, as is my LVEF at 65 now just the same as at the beginning of this whole near quarter century of AFIB experience.

Have truly come full circle now at least cardio-wise in spite of the real rollercoaster I had to ride.. And all by keeping my eye on the big picture and following the protocols developed here on this website as well as those by top EPs over time.

It pays to take the long view and press ahead.

Best wishes and Be well!
