Tim, I still think that the reversion to AFib/Flutter after surgery tends to be higher than the 35% that is quoted. I was at CC and redeveloped AFib when I got home. I wasn't on the same cocktail as you but as soon as the heart healed at six weeks, BAM!! the Afib was gone for good. It's now been 15 months and I take no drugs nor did I after about 8 weeks. I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal and hopefully, my story as well as Anders, Terry and Henry's will prove helpful.
