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,

"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 Many First-Person A-Fib Stories—Will You Write Our 100th?
Other A-Fib patients have been where you are right now. So far, 99 patients have shared their personal experience with Atrial Fibrillation (starting with the Steve Ryan’s story in 1998).
Each story is told in the the writer’s own words. Some stories are brief and concise, some are retold like diary entries, other stories read like a suspense novel. Some stories are straightforward, others unfold and span years, even decades. Symptoms vary, and treatments choices run the full gamut. Many writers include their email address if readers want to contact them directly.
While many writers are now A-Fib free, some are not, but have found the best outcome for their situation.
Nevertheless, all our writers have the same objective—to offer you hope, to encourage you, and to bolster your determination to seek a life free of A-Fib.
Will Your Story be our 100th?
