And as one off anecdote, I have a 59 year old friend, lifetime bike racer, maybe 5% body fat, who just underwent ablation for A Fib.
Sample of one, but consistent with Zinn's and others experience.
For what it's worth, it must be noted that my story is also just a one off anecdote. That said, I want to thank you for summarizing the thrust of what I was trying to say in such a clear and concise manner. I think we agree that being absolutely clear with yourself about what you're doing and why is essential.
