Jim, the drug you referred to is Tikosyn, or another name for it is dofetilide. I have never been personally involved with it, but a lot of people have had good luck with it.
I hope you don't need the Tikosyn, and the NSR will come on and remain.
I also think you are correct that when the clot goes away and you can exercise as you should, the progress will accelerate.
Here is a address that will give you some information on Tikosyn. I never read all of it, but I will pass it on to you.Jim, the drug you referred to is Tikosyn, or another name for it is dofetilide. I have never been personally involved with it, but a lot of people have had good luck with it.
