Drug treatment. Rate control is the preferred first-line treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation except in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation, with atrial flutter suitable for an ablation strategy, with atrial fibrillation with a reversible cause, or with heart failure primarily caused by atrial fibrillation, or if rhythm control is more suitable based on clinical judgement.

Early rhythm control required antiarrhythmic drugs or atrial fibrillation ablation, as well as cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation, to be initiated early after randomization

And then, when he was 60 and she was in her late thirties, he developed some occasional atrial fibrillation, which shocked him since he’d always worked out and eaten well. After a few ablations he started heart rhythm drugs which calmed his rhythm issues but gave him ED. Without the drugs he was in constant palpitations and with them - a limp dick.
She was 40 - he was in his mid 60’s.
Who was plumbing her depths then?
