The patients take medication, blood thinner, the doctors, cardiologists don't.
Doctors should always listen to their patients to decide on medications based on risks vs benefits

I don’t believe doctors always practice what they preach either. Like someone else said they push max treatment as a CYA. Litigious world cause bad decisions. I like to be conservative with treatment especially since I’ve had so many really bad side effects from meds and complications from procedures.

@windyshores that's a really high HR that I’m sure is scary. I really don’t like when my heart rhythm becomes erratic. I can feel it start and speed up then put on my pulse oximeter and the normally smooth and consistent sine wave is all over the place crazy and inconsistent.
