a-fib and v-tach

redsoxfan262

I just got back from the ep to review my 1 month monitor. It showed short runs of a-fib and v-tach, but very inconsistently, but surprising and a bit worrisome. I have a 15yr history of arrhythmia and also have chd and have had strokes because of the chd. I am currently on aspirin as well as other meds including a new prescription for multaq, but does the a-fib warrant coumadin? I just read about a-fib and I don't want to have another stroke. Thanks,

Hi,
I have AFib and take coumadin. My EP says to keep my INR between 2 and 3.

aspirin may keep your blood thin enough to minimize the risk of throwing a clot with afib. Ask your doc what your PT/ INR should be with afib. Aspirin is a mild blood thinner.
Good Luck!
