The protocol was < 12 hours I took DOAC for 2 times/one 24 hour period. If greater than >12 hours and I took DOACs for 30 days. Any Afib event I would start DOAC immediately as soon as I recognized it. Clots can start very early in an Afib event. Hence I didn't wait.

@harveywj thank you! My last afib was 10 months ago so it should happen soon! Have gone back to tai chi.

One hospital did an echo the next day to check for clots. Not sure I would rely on that!
