Steve Ryan at 2019 AF Symposium
AF Symposium 2019
My Summary Reports Written for A-Fib Patients
by Steve S. Ryan, PhD
Now in its 24th year, the annual AF Symposium is one of the most important scientific conferences on A-Fib in the world. I attend to learn about advances in research and treatments directly from the most eminent medical researchers, scientists, cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists. (My first Symposium was in 2003.)
My goal is to offer A-Fib.com readers the most up-to-date research and developments that may impact their treatment choices. And, as always, my reports are written in plain language for A-Fib patients and their families.
