At last!! Aspirin has long since been *not* recommended for blood thinning in AF.

I was told that 18 months ago, when first diagnosed. This link, see below, is from the BBC website, today, June 9th 2014. I have, often, read on "HealthUnlocked" that patients are still on aspirin :-(

Also, I just heard on the radio, BBC Radio 4 News, that the first tiny pacemaker has been fitted inside a patient's heart. Exciting and positive :-) Personally, I have so many different types of heart irregularities that I have no idea which is the actual AF!!! Does anyone else feel this?

Interesting and probably the worst guarded secret on what is supposed to be an embargoed press release for 18th June.
