You do not appear to be in that category. Since you appear to be asymptomatic with AF now on good medications, you may opt to continue your present treatment with medications alone. Your risk of a side effect from coumadin, amiodarone, or lanoxin is small and you must understand that all medication package inserts are more dramatic than what is seen in clinical practice. However, you should speak candidly with your cardiologist about further treatment options. I hope you find this information useful.
