"If you're rarely in arrhythmia, then there won't be much remodeling going on, even if some is extant already. So, no need for medication. Keep the potency of the medication foremost for when you DO need it. But, if you're in arrhythmia two or three times each week, for years now, then I don't understand why the instruction you received."
I think you are way out of your league making these kind of significate recommendation to a person in HR with a history of Afib. This is disturbing.

It's not a recommendation...it is an expression of reasoning. This is for the poster to consider, and is what the science currently supports. It's what the patient ought to be told by a cardiologist or EP who wishes to explain what they're doing, and why they're advising it.
Really, this isn't hard.... It also follows the procedures we use at affibers.org all the time....asking if they understand what they've been told, or to challenge the prescribing authority as to their rationale. Knowledge is power. Nowhere have I said, 'Do this and not that.'
My purpose is to coach people to advocate for themselves, and to be a major component in their own healing and treatment. Nobody can do that with poor understanding.
I will leave this discussion now permanently.
