Generally, anticoagulation reduces stroke risk by 50-60%. If you go through the CHA2DS2–VASc data, you'll see that some controllable issues, such as hypertension and T2 diabetes increase your risk even more than this. So you should make every effort to not have those issues, as the 50-60% applies to whatever your latent risk is. Hence reducing your latent risk makes sense.Quote

1. What percentage of protection does a blood thinner give to potential cross flow embolisms that could lead to a stroke?

2. My afib and short tachycardia bursts have come back while exercising heavily but nothing sustained so is that considered “corrected” or should I have another ablation so they never return?

I have been runner prior to my ablation for over 30 years. Now I am mostly walking regrettably because of discomfort caused by exercise induced tachycardia.
