Here is my latest update - I'm still in continuous afib... My cardiologist ordered an ultrasound of my heart a while back - on Monday the 13th I saw him and he told me that while there is very little enlargement of my heart (afib can cause an enlargement of the heart, specifically the left atria), my ejection fraction is lower than the recommended 55-65% - so they want to try to return me to normal rhythm. No date has been set yet.

I was a little concerned at first - until I found information that suggests that an ejection fraction of 41-49% is considered "mildly reduced".

I'm still feeling pretty good - in fact, I feel better today than I did 2 years ago. I think mostly because I've lost about 30 pounds over the last year.
