I'm not convinced they really know why a person develops AFib.

I think you're right about that. I've seen a dozen or so different cardiologists and three different electrophysiologists, and they all had different takes about the causes. They all agree on the mechanism, but not on what sets it in motion to begin with.

They also seem to agree that it is not a harbinger of more heart issues to come, but is a relatively benign condition as long as the individual stays on the appropriate meds (primarily anti-coagulants).
