Thanks @katiekateny. I did look it up. Without obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure I am less worried. However my kidney disease has caused mild anemia. It is certainly wise to keep an eye on kidney function. And hydrate!

I am not obese, do not have diabetes, and my blood pressure is actually low. Doctors referred to my blood work as “pristine”.

While they can be major factors….it isn’t a factor in my case. Lack of those co-morbidities isn’t a “home free” pass.

The remodeling of the heart increases the poor performance of the heart…and all the issues that come with it. My advice? Do whatever you have to to stop the Afib episodes
