I'm so overwhelmed. I just want this a fib to stop.

Would appreciate more info. on the relationship of AF, obesity, diastolic dysfunction and heart failure.
I have read about recent studies that have found that a low glycemic/low carb diet and major weight loss can reverse fatty infiltration and fibrosis of the heart, in effect reversing AF & DD.
None of my docs has ever volunteered even a mention of weight loss as a potential solution for AF.
And I noted this speaker also did not address obesity per se as a causative factor. Why do all the EP's skirt lifestyle issues in dealing with AF?
Pills for ills is still the orthodoxy.
