Your conversations about blood thinners have been very enlightening to me.. I had an ablation in April of 2022 and felt like I have not had an Afib incident again..I went to a lipid clinic yesterday where they were discussing my test results from extensive blood work and a calcium scoring CT scan. I wanted this information because my primary care wanted to put me on Rovustatin because "all people your age have blocked arteries". Anyway, I was asking about getting off of Eliquis because of a successful ablation and was told that I could still be having very short Afib incidents without knowing it. And that 5 seconds can cause a stroke. So my hope of getting off Eliquis has faded...as a side note, I do not have to go on a statin (yet) and have 6 months to bring my LDL down from 107 to below 100. I'm 69. Still curious about those who were able to stop blood thinners after an ablation. Thanks!
