Leaving the Patient in A-Fib—No! No! No!
Remember: ‘A-Fib begets A-Fib.’ The longer you have A-Fib, the greater the risk of your A-Fib episodes becoming more frequent and longer, often leading to continuous (Chronic) A-Fib. (However, some people never progress to more serious A-Fib stages.) To learn more, read my editorial, Leaving the Patient in A-Fib—No! No! No!
