"Marcus, looking at your full picture — not just the ECGs — this week's pattern makes clinical sense. Your sleep dropped below 6 hours on the same nights your AFib burden was highest. Sleep deprivation is a significant, and often underappreciated, AFib trigger.
Before we consider any medication adjustment, I'd like to try something: two weeks of strict sleep hygiene — consistent bedtime, no screens after 9pm, 7+ hours nightly. I also want you to aim for 7,000 steps daily. These are evidence-based interventions for AFib management that often work before we reach for a prescription.
Your ECG rhythm is not dangerous right now. This is about reducing the burden over time. I've added a sleep and activity goal to your KardiaAI dashboard so it can track progress with you."
