I wanted to let all of you know about this because atrial fibrillation is the single most common occuring heart disorder with about 2.3 MILLION!! folks having it in the USA, and many more world-wide. Sometimes it is intermittent and sometimes permanent. It requires the patient to go on warfarin to "thin" the blood to prevent strokes from pooled blood coagulating in the atria. Folks with sleep apnea have a greater chance of getting it.

Thanks for the update, Dnvr. You have an amazing workout regimen. I am envious

Glad you're doing well. You are a good example for the rest of us!

Take care,

Steve
