My husband had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but now it's almost every day. he's ignoring it. what are the dangers? he takes pradaxa.

Possible stroke: atrial fibrillation can lead to blood clot formation in the heart which can possibly break off and go to the brain and cause a stroke. The treatment is Pradaxa which helps prevent the blood clots from occurring. If your husband is taking Pradaxa, then is treating it well and not ignoring it.
