Richard, the diagnosis may not be wrong. Sandy's Afib comes and goes. She's gotten to the point that she can "tell" or at least be suspicious of when her heart goes into Afib. We also have a Kardio Mobile monitor. It has been invaluable in assessing her situation. We had a period where her meds stopped working and the Kardia Mobile showed her in Afib. Working with her cardiologist we switched meds and she converted to normal rhythm.
All it takes is a run of Afib for a short period of time for emboli to form and then be spread where ever (brain causing a stroke for example).
Your monitor only measures what has gone on while you were wearing it. If they saw Afib while you were in the hospital and treated it, you may have converted to normal and just have not had another bout of Afib, yet.
