After an ablation and no AFib can I stop my blood thinner Xarelto?

Ha! No chainsaws! Yes, agree on all accounts. Too late to get rid of all the blue marks on the legs. I’ll continue to wait to hear what the verdict is re: Xarelto. Thanks!

The Zio report showed no Afib events however there were some abnormal heart beats, including some ectopics and 44 non-sustained supraventricular tachycardia runs, the longest of which lasted 19 seconds. According to my EP I can stop the Xarelto, even though my ChadsVasc score is 3.2, however he recommends a Kardia monitor used twice a day for the first month to confirm no Afib. This doesn't sound overly reassuring. I'll see what my cardiologist thinks.
PS - still got the chainsaw and I wear protective gear.

I stayed on blood thinner for three months after ablation… always consult your doctor! Going on three years afib free!! Good luck to you!
