@gloaming I am only concerned for people in the subset to which I belong, with infrequent paroxysmal afib that proves to be relatively stable. I could easily have assented to daily medication and anti-coagulation after my first episode but instead have had 10 years without either. Even my first cardiologist agrees that people are being overmedicated.
By the way, diltiazem prolongs the QTc interval. Mine is already borderline. Medication daily would actually have been harmful. Other heart drugs (flecainide, amiodarone) are on the list of meds that affect QTc interval as well.
