After Several Years of Unnecessary Suffering: How Warren Found his A-Fib Cure
“I experienced several years of unnecessary suffering by accepting an opinion of one specialist [cardiologist] who said I would have to live with my A-Fib.
Don’t make the same mistake…research [your] treatment options.”
Warren Welsh, A-Fib free after changing cardiologists
In his personal A-Fib story, Warren continued: “I believe that unless there are special circumstances that might preclude ablation, any advice on treatment that is not directed towards a possible cure should be questioned.”
