@gloaming I am happy to do the extra testing as he is being a bit more thorough than the first cardiologist. I had asked that cardiologist for a referral to an EP last year and that did not happen, so ok with that. Their practice is not in the REACT pip trial yet but should be in several months, so if they do decide that they do not want me entirely off of Eliquis, that could open the possibility to enter that trial with a different physician in his practice. A little surprised that the change to A flutter was made without discussion, I just caught it on the after visit summary. When I was initially diagnosed in the ER 16 months ago, the nurse told the physician it was flutter..the physician made the call there for afib. Wondering if the new cardiologist saw the ERs ekg and changed it or what made that change happen. Both EKGs since have been normal.
