SynopsisReview: Founder & CEO of the Atrial Fibrillation Association (AFA) writes... "... well written, easy to understand, comprehensive and a great resource for patients and caregivers living with atrial fibrillation." Trudie C Lobban, MBE, Founder & CEO, Atrial Fibrillation Association (AFA) Founder & Trustee, Arrhythmia Alliance Review: Publisher of AF-Ideas.com writes... "...Empowers the patient] with basic knowledge that by itself can give him a feeling of control over a heart situation gone chaotic. The patient] will come away with the idea that AF has serious consequences and that measures such as rate control and anti-arrhythmic medications are not a useful solution for most." Dick Inglis, Publisher, AF-Ideas.com 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 Patient information is often out-of-date, incomplete or biased toward a specific pharmaceutical or treatment; much information about new treatment options is written in the language of scientists and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. Beat Your A-Fib: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Cure offers: - Unbiased, up-to-date information and best practices - Medical terms and concepts translated into everyday language - Non-drug treatment options including Cardioversion, RF catheter ablation, Pulmonary Vein Isolation, CryoBalloon, Cox-Maze and Mini-Maze surgeries, and AV Node Ablation with Pacemaker - Research-based content with a bibliography of over 150 medical references - 'Lessons learned' from A-Fib patients now enjoying lives free of the burden of A-Fib - Recommended Resources and Website Links - Patient tools to become their own best healthcare advocate This unique book helps patients research their best treatment options, steps through how to find the right doctor for their type of A-Fib and treatment goals, gives patients hope and empowers them to develop a plan for finding their A-Fib cure or best outcome. Dr. Walter Kerwin, MD , of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles, California, wrote the Foreword for the book. Dr. Steven C. Hao, MD, of California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, California, penned the Introduction. Dr. Steve Ryan, PhD, is a noted healthcare educator and advocate for patients with Atrial Fibrillation, and former A-Fib patient. He earned his Ph.D. in Educational Communications from the Ohio State University.

A Must Read if you suffer from a-fib !
Possibly the best book available for people with a-fib. Covers treatments, both with medication and surgery and this is illustrated with diagrams. Givings the pros and cons of each treatment both through drugs and surgery. Various mineral deficiencies are also explained. A-fib does not get better but the condition only get worse, so this book should be read by all people suffering from this serious condition. Potential heart attacks is very real but more disturbing is the possibility of a debilitating stroke caused by a blood clot. According to the author, there are no minor strokes related to this disease. Dementia is also a possible result. Case studies of patients who no longer suffer from a-fib and a question and answer section I found to be very helpful. I highly recommend this book !Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Smartest investment I have ever made.
By the 4th chapter I knew more about my a-fib that I ever knew. I have an appointment with my doctor and I will have the book with me. There is hope to beat this a-fib. Great book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
