Thanks for this. I hadn't seen this previously so very interesting. Good to bring this to other people's attention again in any case.

Interesting - thanks for posting. Only comment would be there are no statistics - will have a look at the other thread thanks Bob because I missed it.

Thank you dmack4646 , I'd missed the earlier thread as well, so this was useful for me. Thanks Bob for the mention of the earlier one, I'll have a read.

EDIT: Thanks Hidden !

Stopped my A.C. last week on the EP 's advice 3 months after my ablation as I have a zero chads2 vasc score!
