"Beat Your A-Fib: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Cure"
Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) is the most common cardiac
arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) seen by physicians. Many
patients suffering from Atrial Fibrillation have three strikes
against them: 1. Their "quality of life" has deteriorated; they are
scared or frightened. 2. Many experience side effects from the
common drug therapies or simply do not want to live on medication;
a cure for their A-Fib hasn't been discussed. 3. Patient
information is often out-of-date, incomplete or biased toward a
specific pharmaceutical or treatment; much information about new
treatment options is written in the language of scientists and
doctors.
The author, Dr. Steve Ryan, PhD, a former A-Fib patient,
addresses all these issues. His book is written for the newly
diagnosed patient and any A-Fib patient who doesn't want to wade
through medical texts and research journals to understand their
disease. "Beat Your A-Fib" helps patients and their families look
beyond the commonly prescribed drug therapies that only manage the
disease, but do not cure it.
