Good morning! I have been taking dofetilide (Tikosyn) 250 mcg for almost 3 years. I also have a genetic heart disease, Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, which makes afib more difficult to tolerate and treat. Because of the ApHcm I also have a high degree of diastolic dysfunction. When I started having self limiting afib episodes about every three months, my genetic cardiologist added jardiance to "fine tune the diastolic dysfunction. " Since that time, I have been afib free for a year and hoping it stays that way. My afib is persistent with rvr so without dofetilide I would be in afib all the time with high heart. Despite the ApHcm, I feel great, am in good shape, and walk at least 2 miles a day and exercise. I am 82 so am very thankful this drug continues to work.
