Abstract: Disclosed are methods to treat patients with AFib by monitoring their heart rhythm to determine the presence and/or the number of episodes of long duration AFib, and optionally the extent of AFib burden. Patients who meet threshold requirements are qualified for the treatment of AFib with a dosage of budiodarone. Patient monitoring is continued in order confirm that the patient is and remains responsive to budiodarone therapy including dose adjusting the patient to achieve such therapy. Subsequently, monitoring is continued to confirm that the patient remains responsive. These methods allow for treatment of the AFib and, correspondingly, reduce or delay the risk of stroke and/or congestive heart failure in the treated patient.
