I haven’t read anything on the Afib thing but I think it comes with vasculitis which does cause Afib that’s why my Rheumatologist switched me to Rituximab infusions. Vasculitis is caused from your B cells attacking the veins and arteries from inside. It’s autoimmune, I believe that our healthcare would be so much better if dna testing was done when babies are born and considered when targeting treatments. Now we just stab in the dark at symptoms. It actually would save the healthcare system money and us years of misery and misdiagnosis.
