Taking higher-than-recommended doses of vitamin D for five years reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation in older men and women, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia, the risk of which increases with age, and which is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and mortality. Vitamin D has been shown tby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Article: Paper: Background Optogenetics could offer a solution to the current lack of an ambulatory method for the rapid automated cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but key translational aspects remain to be studied. Objective To investigate whether optogenetic cardioversion of AF is effective in the aged heart and whether sufficient light penetrates the human atby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Atrial fibrillation was associated with a 46% relative increase in all cause mortality after diagnosis. Amongst the group of patients aged between 55-74 years, the 10 year mortality was 61.5% in men with AF compared to 30% in men without AF. Amongst women in a similar age group, the 10 year mortality was 57.6% in the AF group versus 20.9% in women without AF. Amongst the group of patients ageby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Just like George Carlin joked that saliva causes stomach cancer but only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time here we have breathing leading to afib. Exposure to air pollution can damage the heart within hours, according to a new study. It can cause an irregular heartbeat straight away and is linked with cardiac arrhythmia, common symptoms of which include atrial fibby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

When the heart gets out of rhythm, characteristic processes occur in the heart muscle cells. Among other things, the currents of electrically charged particles (ions) change. In chronic atrial fibrillation, one of these currents is reduced. Dr. Cristina Molina from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) has discovered which protein is responsible for this. This provides a new and,by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

I am going to contact the authors of the paper and find out what whether they used enteric capsules. It isn't specified in the paper. At least one seller on Amazon has enteric coated and 20k FU. So my friend's math may be off or relying on older papers.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
I'm an Eliquis guy but recent research shows that NK has some benefits for another issue I am working on. I am in NSR and the study recommends a relatively high dose of about 11,000 FU's daily. OK simple enough... I don't need to take Eliquis at this time and with 11K of NK daily I really don't want to take both. But here's the problem. NK has very poor bioavaby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Mike - you're in persistent AF and didn't mention if you were taking a NOAC/DOAC. Avoiding a stroke should be priority 1 regardless of how you feel. Get an ECV even if just to test how good NSR feels to remind you and hopefully see if it sticks.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

George - I have but have been careless lately and my MD took notice. He's like a hawk on my labs, which thankfully, I need criticism and correction on from time to time. Nose to the grindstone now as I don't like taking drugs. GG - thanks. I'd like to sleep better so hopefully the Tam will help.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
My A1c is up a little and I've had some nights where I am up for nature breaks 5, even 6 times. He prescribed Farxiga and Tamsulosin. I am most concerned with possible heart rhythm disturbances. Enjoying my NSR and don't want to muck it up. Thanksby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Let's imagine these statements are correct. Left atrial dilatation was the only independent factor associated with arrhythmia-free survival (HR, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.13–2.23]; P=0.006). Left atrial size is a significant predictor of ablation outcome in this population. How does a patient influence that factor? Controlling blood pressure?
