@tomandpatti Aw, that's too bad. But it's not conclusive either. The blanking period is three months long for a reason, and even then people report having a lot of ectopy right through the Holter monitor session, and then the next thing they knew they had just gone several months and been clear of any arrhythmia or its familiar symptoms. Now, years later, they're still in NSR all the time. We are all different that way. The literature just covers the middle bulge under the 'standard normal distribution' bell curve, which means it misses the mark on about 33% of all patients.

@gloaming thank you for your reply. I guess I really had my hopes up after reading that FPA had an 80% success rate and since I was not in Afib constantly I hoped I would have successful results. So maybe as you say time will tell. Even though I am on 50 mg Flecinide 2x per day they have still ordered a holster for me. Guess we will see
