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.”

Don’t Just ‘Manage’ Your A-Fib. Learn All Your Treatment Options. Aim for a Cure.

Published October 30, 2017

“Get your A-Fib taken care of. It won’t go away. It may seem to get better, but it will return. Don’t think that the medication is long term solution.”

Danel Doane, A-Fib free after Mini-Maze surgery

Don’t Expect Miracles from Current Medications

Antiarrhythmic drugs are only effective for about 40% of patients. Many patients can’t tolerate the bad side effects. When drugs do work, over time, they become less effective or stop working. According to Drs. Irina Savelieva and John Camm of St. George’s University of London, London, UK:

“The plethora of antiarrhythmic drugs currently available for the treatment of A-Fib is a reflection that none is wholly satisfactory, each having limited efficacy combined with poor safety and tolerability.”

Drugs don’t cure A-Fib but merely keep it at bay.

Learn All Your Treatment Options

Educate yourself about all your treatment options, see: Treatments for Atrial Fibrillation and Which of the A-Fib Treatment Options is Best for Me? Finally, discuss these treatment options with your doctor. This should be a ‘team effort’, a decision you and your doctor will make together.

Don’t just ‘manage’ your A-Fib. Seek your Cure.
