Wanted to add that fitness level may also contribute to lower HRs. Will likely be cutting my beta blocker in half next week, based on expected holter results. /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM

Learned of this Sunday. What a great new tool if it works well! Reminds me of the futuristic movies from the 60s. ;>) /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM
Think George nailed it: new meds (eg., "novel" anticoags) and ablation & related AFib procedures represent a highly lucrative business. And there's a huge market of baby boomers out there that will be prime targets for the above. /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM
