Interesting, thanks. I am not sold on having another CA. My 3rd one was at Mt Sinai, NYC w/ a top doctor. Normal sinuis rhythm lasted 3 years.

I found this:

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov · articles · PMC7340875A review on plants and herbal components with antiarrhythmic ...

I am going to try each one, first is saffron. I use Garligin instead of Eliquis. It works agreat as a blood thinner, no side effects and much, much less expensive. I have used it for years.

It would seem to be counterproductive at some point, although I know of one person who has had 6 of them, and he is one of the two co-hosts and moderators over at affibers.org. He claims to have been free of AF for ten years now. Last ablation was by Dr. Andrea Natale at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin. Trained by the vaunted Dr. Pierre Jais in Bordeaux, FR.

While being in NSR for three years is a win, it's discouraging that it had to come to an end, something I always take pains to warn newcomers to these AF discussions about. I don't know what the true numbers of eventual recurrent AF are of all ablatees, but it must be close to 50-60%. Even so, while in NSR there is a slowing of the remodeling process, which is also a win...in my books.
