Lots of talk of blood thinners and thinning the blood! Even "to thin the blood".

Very good, and well presented. One of the messages from seems to be that rate control is not a fix.

Thanks for sharing secondtry, I agree, it’s a well thought out video which explains in simple terms, what AF is all about. However, it is a promotional video and although that need not be bad, perhaps it should be borne in mind when watching……….

I enjoyed watching that, at first I thought it was going to be the usual waffle, but no was very informative and explained AF and it's treatments clearly.

I agree it's the best I've seen. Very well spoken and very clear. I didn't know about the "rotors" or the hybrid maze. I had a maze with open heart surgery and I'm not sure it ever worked (my cardiologist is not the most forthcoming). I know I'm back into atrial fibrillation AND flutter now. The hybrid maze might be the answer for me but I imagine ablation is the next attempt.
