Anyone have a Cardio or Electro Dr. doing PIP for Eliquis after study

Exactly. Some never realize they are in arrhythmia. So, the wisdom should be to have some kind of alerting device, a smart watch or a chest strap (Garmin) with real-time monitoring. Personally, I just have accepted that I am at a point where I might as well just take it twice a day prophylactically. I have no AF (28 months in remission after a second ablation), but I am also an aging male, a bit more chubby than I would like (long story, not all my fault), and due to that long story, spend a lot of time at home near my wife and seated at a computer (I can't watch TV for hours like some). With deep vein thrombosis a possibility, I might as well cover all the bases I can.

I understand your reasoning but often think we become anxiety slaves to that device on our wrist spitting out data 24x7. The generation before me never had the technology to use that we currently have and just like us their all gone just like us with the technology. I sometimes wonder if the watches and other devices had a countdown monitor for "heartbeats left" would we still actively monitor that feature also 😉
