Our Worldwide A-Fib Support Volunteers
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)”.

JAPAN
Susan H., Iwakuni, Japan; Email katmaii1(at)aol.com. Ablation at the Cleveland Clinic May 7, 2020.
“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.”
