We Can’t Say it Enough: A-Fib Can be Cured!

Published April 13, 2016

From TV ad for the blood thinner Xarelto.

Does this sound familiar? You’re watching TV when NASCAR driver Brian Vickers and comedian Kevin Nealon appear playing a round of golf.

An energetic, healthy, Nealon is talking about having A-Fib, “an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem.“ He’s excited to be off warfarin and on his new anticoagluant. Life is good again.

This and other similar drug ads are targeted at A-Fib patients. What these pharmaceutical company ads don’t tell you is…

• You are on their meds for life!
• These meds do nothing to treat your atrial fibrillation (just your increased risk of stroke).
• A-Fib can be cured.

Don’t Settle for a Lifetime on Meds: Aim for A Cure

A-Fib is definitely curable. (I was cured of my A-Fib in 1998). If you have A-Fib, no matter how long you’ve had it, you should aim for a complete and permanent cure (or best outcome for you).

See our Personal A-Fib stories of Hope and Courage to learn how others have dealt with the burden of atrial fibrillation.
