Very interesting. I wonder about the emphasis on " recent - onset " AF. For most of us it is really " recently diagnosed ."  I don't know how long I'd had it before they put a name to it. Would it make any difference?

Appreciate the update.  Information, as always, is invaluable.  Thanks! Maureen

This looks to be about chemically caradioverting patients who present at hospital in AF for the first time. I have never heard of the other drug they mention so unless they use different names over there I have no ideas. I does NOT appear to relate to ongoing treatment of AF.

No its is for cardioverting  - and you are correct it is not an ongoing treatment , but, interesting to see the progress they appear to be making in this field.
