I might be dreaming, but if genes can be turned on then shouldn't we be able to turn them off if we know what to do/do the right thing???

When I first got AF, my regular Med. doctor prescribed Atenolol, 25mg. only once a day, I felt terrible made me very tried. I got a 1st. degree heart block where my heart rate dropped to almost a flat line when going back to NSR from an episode of AF. I went to a EP and he prescribed a pacemaker and I happened to read his notes (he wasn't around) and it said that the beta blocker probably caused my heart block.
Why did you want the atenolol was Sotalol giving you problems? They are both beta blockers so probably doesn't matter which one you take, are you having a fast heartrate being in AF?

That's a long, complex article to boil down into simpler language. That would be a bit of a project.

Sure, that's called gene therapy, and I firmly believe that's where the eventual cure for afib will come from. But the hard part is that "knowing what to do" part. First, you have to identify the responsible genes, then you need to find a way to switch the right genes on or off, and then you need to do extensive testing. That process takes years, if not decades. I don't expect to see a gene therapy for afib in the next 10 years, or perhaps even in my lifetime.

I was watching the History channel which was about the Neanderthal man, their DNA has survived in modern man, maybe about 4 to 6%, they lived over 40,000 years ago.
