@katiekateny the book "The Afib Cure" by Day and Brunch, two cardiologists, says that afib is not always progressive. It also discusses meds and ablations but emphasizes avoiding triggers and lifestyle changes. I have no idea if afib is progressive, myself, just mentioning that there is some difference of opinion apparently.

My own EP says that he would view my episode frequency ( once a year, once every two years, one time twice in a year) as a successful ablation and does not think I need one. Time will tell. I don't eat after 5, lie on my right side, drink low sodium V8 for potassium, take magnesium at night, and (the hardest thing) try to avoid stress.
