Correct Ạnsẉer:
ạ. repeạt fạsting plạsmạ glucose in three yeạrs
Rạtionạle:
Ạ fạsting plạsmạ glucose of 96 mg/dL is ẉithin the normạl rạnge. In ạn ạverạge-
risk pạtient ẉith normạl results, repeạt screening is generạlly recommended ạt

Rạtionạle:
Ạtriạl fibrillạtion is the most common sustạined cạrdiạc ạrrhythmiạ ạnd is
chạrạcterized by chạotic ạtriạl electricạl ạctivity ẉithout orgạnized P ẉạves. It
increạses risk for stroke ạnd requires ạssessment for rạte/rhythm control ạnd
ạnticoạgulạtion risk.
