We recently lost a great friend of A-Fib.com, Emmett Finch, The Malibu Poet. We met Emmett when we researched his personal A-Fib story for our book, Beat Your A-Fib (“40-Year Battle With A-Fib Includes AV Node Ablation with Pacemaker”).
Treatments Evolved Over 40-Years of A-Fib. Emmett’s treatment plan evolved over the years as research and knowledge about Atrial Fibrillation progressed. First beyond drug therapy to his PV catheter ablation, then AV Node ablation with Pacemaker and then finally installation of the Watchman device. Emmett overcame his own A-Fib and was A-Fib free since 2012.

Emmett’s Personal A-Fib Story. Emmett wrote: “There is more help available today than when I first developed my A-Fib [in 1972], and I’m sure more treatment options (like the Watchman device) will be available in the future.” Read his story in our book, Beat Your A-Fib.
Emmett passed away at age 100 in Malibu, CA. He lived a full, inspirational life and wrote 11 books of poetry. He survived World War II, a plane crash, and many dangers while working as a Los Angeles County firefighter.
‘A-Fib’s Demise’ Emmett honored us with a special poem entitled ‘A-Fib’s Demise’. It’s for people of faith who look for hope and help from the Divine but also seek doctors, medicines, supplements, etc. as manifestations of the “creative power we call God.”
