Interesting post, just glad I'm not a heavy drinker.
VERY sobering. Interesting comment by the journalist
If the doctor and patient know that reduction of alcohol may eliminate AF, should that not be a mandatory first step before expensive and risky drugs or procedures are used? Given the vast inequities of access to healthcare, what would it say if we were ablating people so that they can continue drinking alcohol without experiencing AF?
I wonder just how that might go down? Badly I expect.
PS - I just noticed that Bagrat posted yesterday about this with a lot more comments.
Worth a second posting for those like me who missed it and a thought provoking article it is if you read it through
