Re AFIB.

I don't (yet- if ever) have a Watchman. It's something I'm looking into to protect my eyes from my blinding wet macular degeneration. That's why the business about perpetual aspirin was such a downer. (Only a really good nearby electrophysiologist- interventional cardio said he thought I could forego it, with a mind to European studies which view the necessity of aspirin quite differently)

What IS the difference between electrophysiologist- interventional cardios anyhow? SO many types of cardiologists (just check out heart transplant specialists!)

Don't know about you, but I have no symptoms with my AFIB so have never worried about it*, especially with the Xarelto (gotten heavily discounted from Canada FWIW)
It was only the diagnosis of that nightmare eye disease that put me onto trying to get off it.

*I gather many participants here have violent symptoms accompanying their AFIB.
