It is not the diet. You are already on the treatment that is best for your heart.
I am no doctor but you may have had a silent heart attack before starting to eat this way, from Oct 14 to Jan 15 or before losing enough weight to make a difference in your AFIB.
It is good that you are seeing a cardiologist. You may want to email Dr McDougall directly via this website. It will be a good idea to call Dr Esselstyn also before your cath. Since you seem to be not having any symptoms, any intervention is likely useless, but do ask the two good doctors.
I am assuming you are on all the usual drugs: a statin, a low dose aspirin, a beta blocker, an ace inhibitor etc?
