Staying Current with A-Fib Research: In Boston for the 2025 International AF Symposium
This past week I was once again in Boston for the annual International AF Symposium, one of the most important conferences on Atrial Fibrillation in the world. This intensive and highly focused three-day symposium brings together the world’s leading medical scientists, researchers and cardiologists to share the most recent advances in the field of atrial fibrillation.
Why I Attend the Symposium Every Year
Each year I attend the Symposium to learn and ‘absorb’ the presentations and research findings. It gives me a thorough and practical view about advances and progress in our understanding of atrial fibrillation and therapeutics directly from many of the most eminent investigators in the field.
For A-Fib.com readers, my goal is to offer the most up-to-date A-Fib research analysis and developments that may impact the treatment choices of patients seeking their A-Fib cure or best outcome.

Writing and Posting My Reports
On the plane ride home I start writing summaries of significant presentations and important research findings that are relevant to A-Fib patients and their families.
I strive to ‘translate’ as much of the medical jargon into everyday language. (My wife, Patti, keeps an eye out for this). I add my own comments and insights to help interpret the information for A-Fib.com readers.
In the months following the Symposium, I write and post three or four reports each month. (Why does it take so long? I send each of my summaries to the presenter inviting their feedback, so it takes some time to get each article written, reviewed, and posted.)
I announce each posting on my A-Fib News Blog with a link to each article.
You can review my previous reports by going to AF Symposium Archives by Year.

OUR MISSION: At A-Fib.com, we offer hope & guidance to empower patients to find their A-Fib cure or best outcome. A-Fib.com is the patient’s unbiased source of well-researched information on current & emerging Atrial Fibrillation treatments.
