		<description><![CDATA[Since I posted a few days ago on Statins Help Women with Atrial Fibrillation, Hans Larsen, owner of the Lone Atrial Fibrillation Bulletin Board, created a great recap of studies related to inflammation and atrial fibrillation, including lone atrial fibrillation (afib without any underlying heart disease).

		<description><![CDATA[Post-menopausal women with existing heart disease have less risk of having or developing atrial fibrillation if they are taking statin drugs. This finding was reported at the Heart Rhythm Society&#8217;s annual meeting in San Francisco. It appears that it&#8217;s the anti-inflammatory properties of statins that cause this. More about study&#8230; While the news stories say &#8220;older women benefit from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Atrial fibrillation is so sneaky. So is afib really stress in disguise? Afib seems to sneak up on you when you least expect it and you wonder &#8220;where did that come from?&#8221; It&#8217;s hard to pin down an atrial fibrillation cause or trigger when it&#8217;s different every time.
