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

Our Worldwide A-Fib Support Volunteers

Learn about becoming a A-Fib Support Volunteer

When diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, you have many questions. It helps to have someone who has “been there” and is there for you now. Our A-Fib Support Volunteers want to help and are just an email message away. (We are sad to announce that Nancy Thompson, who for many years volunteered as an excellent coordinator of the A-Fib Support Volunteers, passed away. We really miss her.)

This list of worldwide A-Fib Support Volunteers is arranged by geographical region. Note: substitute an “@” symbol for the “(at)”.

“I began having symptoms of AFib just prior to moving to Japan in September 2019. I have always had PVCs and an “irritable” heart, and I think the stress and anxiety just pushed me over the edge. In April I flew back to the States to seek treatment and had an ablation at the Cleveland Clinic on May 7th. I’m back in Japan in quarantine right now. Still experiencing PVCs but otherwise well.”
