Have tried cardioversion, had many tests, after TEE…not candidate for ablation due to chronic A-fib and dilated left atrium.
You didn’t ask me a question! You are well treated and doing well it seems. Regular check ups are all you need for now. Meanwhile, keep up the diet & exercise. Have you tried this diet?
