Interesting- thanks for posting it.

I think he features in a recent TV ad here in the U.K.

Hi Kaz :-) an interesting post thanks.

I wish he had said a bit more about living with AF .

He may well have done but journalists and editors have the final say about what goes to print.

Was his heart fast and regular or fast and irregular during the episode? I wonder kind of tea he drinks. He says he drinks alot - that could speed things up heart wise.
