I recently had a heart scan that showed significant increase in calcium over the last year. I posted this earlier. I have been taking Koncentrated K for several years, one per day. I recently started taking two per day in hopes of stopping the calcification. In June last year I found that I am especially sensitive to caffeine and I have stopped that which greatly reduced the frequency of the arrhythmias, which I was having rather frequently. Last September I also started taking a natural ACE inhibitor, Peptace, which is supposed to help control heart arrhythmias, I don't know how the Peptace may have affected the calcium deposition. I have just been diagnosed with afib, after having a 30-day AF heart-event monitor. During the 10 events recorded, only three of which were automatically triggered, I had one or two that were short spurts of Afib. Now I am concerned that the high levels of K1 may offset the aspirin and 3750 mg of DHA + EPA that I take. My doctors warn that I am at greater risk of a stroke and my PCP has suggested that I maybe should be on a blood thinner. My cardiologist thinks what I am doing is enough, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't looked at the possible interaction of my high K-1 and blood viscosity. What do we know about the effect of K=1 on blood viscosity? I'm not concerned with coagulation after a cut, but is that different from blood viscosity? Here is the event monitor report.
