About A-Fib.com: A-Fib.com was created by Steve S. Ryan to provide patients with unbiased A-Fib-related information in a format the average person can understand. His wife, Patti, edits A-Fib.com's content to make it readable by the lay (non-medical) person and relevant to patients. Steve is not a medical doctor (though he did earn a Ph.D. from Ohio State University).
    After three failed ablations in 1997, Steve locked himself in a medical library armed with a medical dictionary and read everything he could find about A-Fib. He tediously waded through the medical jargon doctors and researchers use, and emerged from the library with an understanding of A-Fib and a plan of action.
    Steve was cured of his A-Fib in 1998 by a Pulmonary Vein Ablation (Isolation) procedure. (Read about his story in the PersonalExperiences section of A-Fib.com.) After his cure, Steve felt compelled to write A-Fib.com in order to spare other patients the difficulty he had in finding understandable information about A-Fib.
    A-Fib.com is deliberately not affiliated with any medical school, company, doctor or other organization. It does not accept advertising.
    Though inclined toward Pulmonary Vein Ablation as a cure for A-Fib, Steve tries to maintain an open mind and be free of any conflict of interest. He tries to not only report on recent A-Fib research, but also draw conclusions and make recommendations for A-Fib patients.
