@4aces4me My cardiologist had said that once you are diagnosed with afib, you HAVE it, no matter what the current burden....and they want me on blood thinners for the rest of my life. I am 75, female. I was debating whether to wear monitor again and get a new burden reading, as I have changed my homeopathic remedy and I have significantly fewer episodes of afib, that I am aware of. Last reading, about 6 months ago was 4%.

@devotion I have no false pretenses that my AFIB is gone or will be gone forever. All I know is I’m working with 2 of the very best in our City and 4 months ago the Electrophysiologist said he would not consider an Ablation with a 2% average Burden. With that consultation he and Cardiologist took me off of my blood thinner and did not recommend low dose aspirin. I believe all this decided because mine is Paroxysmal AFIB and my incidents tend to last an hour, maybe 3 and then I’m back in sinus rhythm.
