This video is over a year old. I believe the standard of care for most Afib patients is ablation first; Not meds first.

Thank you for this analysis / report. I know your time is very valuable but certainly provides great information and possibly help save lives of those who may have some initial symptoms.

very informative

[@tiitulitii]

Are there any statistical differences in the consequences of different types of AFib? I.e., are some more fatal than others, or, some even harmless?

[@doctorrobert60]

Do any of you experts know the current status of pulse field ablation? This seems to be an advancement in ablation but I think is still being clinically studied and not in use yet.

FDA should approve by 3rd or 4th quarter of 2023. I am waiting for it.
