I was dignosed with AF four years ago and have had a few such experiences since then. I am getting excellent care from my physician and yearly check up by ‘my’ cardiologist. Regular INR tests monthly, sometimes every other week depending on the test. I feel excited about the Dabigatran, where we patients can start enjoying all the wonderful K-vegs again but not least, not having to sometimes sit for an hour in wait for the INR test to be done. I am 78, active, play tennis and power walk. Life is wonderful, and a great hubby so what do I have to complain about! A happy Canadian from Niagara, Ontario.
