The crude incidence of stroke or TIA in patients with resolved atrial fibrillation and a current prescription for an anticoagulant was 11.4 per 1000 person years, compared with 12.2 per 1000 person years in patients without. The adjusted incidence of stroke or TIA was 14% lower in patients with a current prescription for an anticoagulant compared with those without, but this result was not statistically significant: adjusted incidence rate ratio 0.86 (95% confidence interval 0.62 to 1.18).

Interesting.
Certainly putting ALL afibbers, “cured” or not, on anticoagulation therapy will increase mortality due to bleeds.

Does CHADS score come into play if you've had a successful (Dr. Natale) LAA isolation ablation and have had no Afib for 5 years? Is there a reason for this score?
When I googled it, it always came up as being tied to Afib...so if you don't have it anymore, is it relevant?
