Is there a way for virtual attendees to submit questions? Thank you Yes, LakeCountry! There are chat boxes in the Livestream portal (getinrhythmlive.com) and you'll be able to ask questions there. Eliz, our livestream host, will aggregate questions and submit them to Mellanie and the Faculty on your behalf. We will also keep an eye on things here, but submitting your questions in the chat there may be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slides are only available in the recordings once those become available. Mellanie covers this question and the answer in detail in her opening talk on Day 1.

Melinda Steiner Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 I have had a fib since 2002. I’m 77 yrs old 5’4” I do not have high blood pressure I weigh 127-130 constant. I eat healthy foods take no medication. My cholesterol is normal. My a- fib started up again in June . My dr gave me blood thinners I won’t take it one dose was enough for me .

mailman70 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Welcome Melinda. I am 77 also and had AFIB come back this year 12 years after my ablation. I don't like the idea of taking an anticoagulant either, but I had to bite the bullet. Once you have had AFIB you are 5 times more likely to have a stroke. Whatever problems you are having with your blood thinner, it is not worth having a stroke in my opinion. If you are worried about bleeding more, carry around one of the wound seal products that stop bleeding quickly. I am going for another ablation soon, but even if it is successful, I will stay on the anticoagulant in case AFIB comes back. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
