Doctors & patients are saying about 'A-Fib.com'...

"A-Fib.com is a great web site for patients, that is unequaled by anything else out there."

Dr. Douglas L. Packer, MD, FHRS, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

"Jill and I put you and your work in our prayers every night. What you do to help people through this [A-Fib] process is really incredible."

Jill and Steve Douglas, East Troy, WI

“I really appreciate all the information on your website as it allows me to be a better informed patient and to know what questions to ask my EP.

Faye Spencer, Boise, ID, April 2017

“I think your site has helped a lot of patients.”

Doctors & patients are saying about 'Beat Your A-Fib'...

"If I had [your book] 10 years ago, it would have saved me 8 years of hell.”

Roy Salmon, Patient, A-Fib Free,
Adelaide, Australia

"This book is incredibly complete and easy-to-understand for anybody. I certainly recommend it for patients who want to know more about atrial fibrillation than what they will learn from doctors...."

Pierre Jaïs, M.D. Professor of Cardiology, Haut-Lévêque Hospital, Bordeaux, France

"Dear Steve, I saw a patient this morning with your book [in hand] and highlights throughout. She loves it and finds it very useful to help her in dealing with atrial fibrillation."

Dr. Wilber Su,
Cavanaugh Heart Center, Phoenix, AZ

"...masterful. You managed to combine an encyclopedic compilation of information with the simplicity of presentation that enhances the delivery of the information to the reader. This is not an easy thing to do, but you have been very, very successful at it."

Ira David Levin, heart patient,
Rome, Italy

"Within the pages of Beat Your A-Fib, Dr. Steve Ryan, PhD, provides a comprehensive guide for persons seeking to find a cure for their Atrial Fibrillation."

Walter Kerwin, MD, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA

2017 AF Symposium: New Reports on Reversing Fibrosis and Hypercoagulability & NOACs

Published February 6, 2017

I’ve been a busy writer since attending the 2017 AF Symposium in January. Here are two more summary reports.

Report 5: Some Forms of Fibrosis May Be Reversible: Research with Overweight Sheep

In a very hopeful study for Atrial Fibrillation patients, Dr. Stanley Nattel of the University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada concluded that some forms or types of fibrosis are indeed reversible.

Steve with Shannon Dickson, editor of The A-Fib Report

He described his experiments with overweight sheep. A 30% weight lost reduced fibrosis as well as inflammation and incidence of A-Fib. Continue reading….

Report 6: Hypercoagulability May Cause A-Fib, NOACs May Prevent It

Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) may both prevent and stop A-Fib, according to a thought-provoking hypothesis by Dr. Ulrich Schotten of the University of Maastricht, Maastricht, The Netherlands.

His different, somewhat contrary hypothesis flips the current thinking― that hypercoagulability increases and promotes A-Fib (versus A-Fib increasing hypercoagulability).

Working with specially designed mice with increased thrombin activity (hypercoagulated mice), Dr. Schotten found that these mice had increased atrial fibrosis and A-Fib, and a hypercoagulated state promotes atrial fibrosis…Continue reading….

Look for three more reports soon.
