Common meds include Amiodarone and others. There are side effects from all, so you need to be mindful. Some people have Afib and have no problems, but others maybe at great risk – according to cardiologists we have seen. Dialysis can cause Afib. Correctly done it can be avoided.

Which measure is a better predictor of heart disease, cholesterol levels or the ratio of HDL to Triglycerides?
