Updated: What is the Annual ‘AF Symposium’ and Why it’s Important to Patients

Published May 6, 2019

I’ve updated my page about the What is the Annual ‘AF Symposium’ and Why it’s Important to Patients. If you are new to reading my reports and summaries from this annual presentation and learning event, you’ll want to take a look.

The most important point I make is that this conference provides me with a unique opportunity to learn about advances in research and therapeutics directly from many of the most eminent investigators in the field.

I use this newly gained insight to share those findings that are relevant to A-Fib patients and their families. And I do it in plain language, filtering out as much medical jargon as possible.

In 2002 I started Atrial Fibrillation: Resources for Patients, A-Fib.com, to spare others the frustration, depression and anxiety I went through to find my cure. (Read Steve’s story: Personal A-Fib story #1). I continue this mission through my reports from the AF Symposium.

My goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date research and developments in the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation that may affect your choices of medical care.

Go to: What is the Annual ‘AF Symposium’ and Why it’s Important to Patients.

Remember: You must educate yourself to find
your A-Fib cure or best outcome for you!
