A-FIB PATIENTS’ BEST ADVICE
From Beat Your A-Fib: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Cure, Chapter 12: Your Journey to a Cure:


Michele Straube, cured after 30 years in A-Fib, wrote in her personal A-Fib story:
“Go to an electrophysiologist, an A-Fib expert, right away, one with a high success rate at getting patients back into normal rhythm—you deserve nothing less.” (pp. 88-90)
Terry DeWitt, cured in 2007 from a clinical trial for CryoBalloon ablation, offered his best advice:


“Spend the time to find the best Electrophysiologist (arrhythmia specialist) you can find. It makes a big difference in treatment and in the success of the ablation procedure.” (pp. 138-143)
How to Find the Best Doctor for You
To be cured of your A-Fib, seek a heart rhythm specialist, an cardiac electrophysiologist (EP), who will partner with you to create a treatment plan—a path to finding your cure or best outcome.
