I recall someone on this forum stating that metropopol they thought caused their heart failure...

If your heart rate isn't high when you are in AF, why do you need a beta blocker? That is the last drug I would take, a number of years ago when I first got AF my doctor put me on a beta blocker, I felt terrible, tried and then I got a first degree heart block. I went to a EP I read on my chart that he said my first degree heart block was probably due to the beta blocker and I had to get a pacemaker. He did prescribe Propafenone but 150 mg. once at night. If your doctor is prescribing 225mg. twice a day and you are a small person that is bad, why don't you request the 150mg., actually, I would go to an EP.
Since I only take the Propafenone at night (once) I do not take an extended release.

Someone - maybe Elizabeth? - has said that a beta blocker caused "heart block." If I recall correctly

Ah, that's different. Beta blockers can cause heart block, but that's very different from heart failure. It's very unusual for that to happen, but if it does then it can usually be reversed by simply stopping the drug. If that doesn't resolve it, a pacemaker will do the job. Heart failure is a whole different beast and not so easily treated.
So do you still experience episodes of afib or is the dofetilide keeping you in NSR?
