| Future plans | If remain in NSR great! If not, explore dietary and other options. Staying in chronic or permanent afib is an option for me since while I was in it I was essentially symptom free. |

| Personal comments | I decided to add this because some will wonder whether electric shock cardioversion is viable after 5 or 6 months in chronic afib. I certainly wondered. Turns out I converted easily and stayed in NSR for at least several hours. If I go back into afib I will take a little time to get rid of my bad habits and improve my diet and try it again. I'll also update this. |
