I'm not offering advice, just an opinion, or telling you (honestly) what I would do in your situation: I would switch to a baby aspirin daily and call it a deal. This would be only if a recent CRP shows low systemic inflammation, and if my heart really is only getting the odd PAC and no runs of AF or flutter (flutter tends to want to stay in flutter, so pretty sure this is a non-issue for you...you'd probably have symptoms by now). I agree with you that there comes a time when taking both a statin and a DOAC don't make so much sense any more, and you may very well be there.

Have been on 81 mg ASA for years now but cardiologist does not think that is enough. I do track my heart rhythm and rate via my Apple watch and have had no runs of Afib since my procedure in 2020.
