If you're going to try to use anticoagulants on a PIP basis (and I've done that), the rule you should follow is to take it immediately when an episode begins and continue it for 30 days after that. That may be overly cautious, but there simply isn't enough known on the question to follow any other advice.

How can you Pompon be a chads 0? Doesn’t an afib history alone justify a point? Atrial myopathy?

I thought you posted not that long ago (the post about this website isn’t “lone afib”) and somewhere in that post you mentioned in fact afib is a form of Atrial myopathy. If that is the case then isn’t Atrial Myopathy a mild form of heart disease which is either one or two points on the CHADS score?

When I was a CHADS 0 in 2015, I used Eliquis as a PIP and my EP approved of it, but he insisted that I should start it the minute the arrhythmia started. I think his advice was correct.
