Thanks. Sorry for my delayed reply. I've missed a few days. Is that 24/7 monitoring done with a loop recorder? Does it send an alert if you go into afib? I guess you are new to afib. I've had it long enough I don't remember when it started, but I was feeling weak, listened to my heart with a stethoscope and it sounded weird. My wife said, "we're going to the hospital". Stayed overnight and some med they gave me converted it in the middle of the night. Then nothing for at least 5 years. Then it started again and I went through several cardoversions, then a "mini-maze" and then a number of heart ablations. Finally, got a pacemaker but that didn't eliminate afib. During an ablation done from inside the heart, the doc stapled off my "Atrial Appendage" which is where most clots develop. That reduced my risk of clotting, but not eliminated. Next step may be to sever the electrical connection between the atrial sinus node and the ventricle making me totally dependant on the pacer. I pause on this prospect, but it is sounding better than playing around with blood thinner dosing when dealing with BC and bleeding from BCG's, etc. I'm giving you this history so you know some of the afib options.
