What long term effects if afib left untreated

@sjm46 I dropped my first cardiogist because his attitude of do no harm was really do nothing. His first comment to me was that some people just live with Afib. Well I am not one of those people. My attitude is that if you are not getting answers to your questions from a health care provider, then find a new one. So I went out and did a search for the best cardio care facility reasonably close to me for more input and for the ability to provide more "invasive" procedures like PFA. My primary care provider is great and has always given me all of the information on what can be done and has always recommended the correct medications. I am a proactive person and like to see actions that address issues and provide potential solutions. I always asks questions (from a prepared list) of all of my health care providers so I can be as well informed as possible as to what are my health issues and what are the potential ways to provide a cure or at the least some relief from the symptoms. I use the internet and some AI sites not for what I should do, but for knowledge and for interpretation of the "code" that doctors use in the clincal notes.
