Funny thing.... Susan I joked about this in PMs - "what if Eliquis is the cause of afib"
I had the one event, got put on eliquis and more events until persistent af.
I haven't watched video yet but I will

IMHO he should have spoken very strongly for continuing anti-coagulation for those that are already on it. AF is a hassle, taking pills everyday or 2x a day is a hassle, atrial myopathy may be the daddy, but stroke is the mother-in-law from hell or the uncle that molests your children.

Atrial myopathy is an interesting theory as the genesis of a-fib, but I’m confounded by the notion that it could be the cause in the athletic community. How does exercising the heart create myopathy?

" (...) Another interesting observation was that when you take young healthy people who have AF, they seem to tolerate it very badly but don't tend to have strokes whereas if you take older sicker patients, they may not even know they are in AF yet they seem to be at a much higher risk of strokes. Same AF but very different stroke risk - that again does not fit. (...)

Maybe exercise creates more pressure - as in more blood pressure, more volume of blood pumped. and I got the impression that increased pressure on/in the heart is what stretches the atrial walls since they are thinner than ventricular walls so they give way first when whole system under pressure - his balloon on garden hose metaphor. and that once the atria start stretching... that can lead to myopathy?
