The Anti-Fib
I think that overall Stroke Risk is decreased by eliminating AFIB. Maybe just not as much as we think. This reminds me of the Studies about a decade ago that showed that Rhythm Control had the same Stroke/Mortality rate of Rate Control.
You have to factor in the acute risk of the treatment. When they added in the Complication risk for treatment like Pro-Arrythmic events from Anti-Arrythmics, Complications from Ablation procedures, or Stroke Risk from Cardioversion, doing nothing but rate-control came out about to about the same risk as trying to get people back into NSR.. Many times Treatments have not been successful, or only partially successful, and the patient still had AFIB in the end anyways. This factors into the over-all Statistical analysis against treatmen!

Ken
Let's look at 3 people all with the same chad score. All the same age, same fitness level, etc.
1. No afib, chances of dying from a stroke = ?
2. Afibber taking a blood thinner which continues for life, chances of dying from a stroke = ?
3. Successfully ablated afibber, not on blood thinners (me), chances of dying from a stroke = ?
Is there a difference in longevity (just considering a stroke ending your life)? My guess is no. Others may differ.
