Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  It can be very difficult to navigate the risk of a medicine or a procedure versus the benefits.  It is impossible to apply the statistics of many to one.  The study populations may be very different than those we apply the risk/benefit ratios to.  Even with the best information, we are forced to make a gamble many times. While that gamble might be unavoidable, we should not be cavalier about the decision or fail to observe and ask questions on what might be the best plan of action.  Today's topic is atrial fibrillation and stroke risk.  What is the best course of action.  What risks can we accept.   As health care providers, we must continue to exam treatment options, but more importantly, what can we do to prevent atrial fibrillation and strokes.   It is certainly best to avoid atrial fibrillation in the first place.  That is certainly the best plan of action.  Plant based nutrition is a low risk way to get started.  If you would like to learn more about how our practice decreases lifestyle diseases, check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Thanks for listning.
