| Personal comments | My AF was noticed by a neurologist examining me for headaches. Otherwise, I would not have known. I have multiple brain lesions that may (or may not) be effects of thrombotic strokes. I have no sensory, motor, or cognitive symptoms.
The bottom half of my heart is fine. So, I have no cardiovascular symptoms, no exercise intolerance.
Would like to drink my favorite alcoholic beverages again, but am not for fear of stomach hemorrhage on warfarin. This is a big motivator for surgery, but don't know how to compare possible benefits and risks of surgery.
