That's great, Denver!

As you are well aware, a good aerobic athlete is more apt to suffer AFIB and HVT than a "normal" person.

Why would that be? When my dad was diagnosed with AFIB, around age 80, he was otherwise strong and very healthy. My brother (a ER nurse) said there seems to be a connection between a slow HR and AFIB. My dad had a slow HR, as I do I -- even when I was unfit my HR was low.
