Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 << Has anyone tried Vit E as a preventative of AF? I recently was told to take 1200-1600 IU of Vit E aday for another medical (not heart related) problem and since I started, I have been AF free.It has only been 3 weeks but usually I go into AF every 10-14 days for a day or two. I have had some palpitations that I thought were the usual start of AF, but I stayed in normal SR. I know it probably is a coincidence...and I will likely have an episode as soon as I exercise today...but here's hoping!! Happy New Year to all! >> I have been on 800 IU of Vitamin E since before my AF was discovered. So that amount doesn't seem to affect my AF. Furthermore I read recently that high doses of E can result in a lowering of HDLs--something that as a post heart attack person was not good news to me. I've lowered my E dose to 400, but I intend to talk with my cardio about it at my next appointment. Brenta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
