: :Thanks so much for the quick response regarding my father. Apparently both ankles are swollen and doctors have him on Lanoxin now. Glad to hear that heart failure and atrial-fib are not necessarily related! I was mostly concerned of the swollen ankles because my grandmother had heart-failure her legs were very swollen and soon after died. Can u tell me what kind of life span can be expected from an older person suffering from A-Fib? Thanks so much!
