Which Comorbid Risks Do You Have That Make Your A-Fib More Severe? And What To Do
Most A-Fib patients have at least one concurrent medical condition, i.e., comorbidity, that makes Atrial Fibrillation symptoms more severe and makes treating A-Fib more difficult with increased risk of complications. They can also affect the longevity of a treatment such as a catheter ablation. Concurrent Medical Conditions Concurrent conditions, or comorbidities, are risk factors that canâŠ
Editorial: CautionâYouTube AI Doctors are Presenting Themselves as Real Cardiologists
By Patti J. Ryan A few weeks ago, I started noticing that some of the YouTube videos I was watching for pleasure, seemed âoddâ. For example, one young woman standing in her kitchen giving DIY advice had an unusually quiet kitchen. No ambient sounds at all. You could see open windows behind her, but not rustling wind, no birds chirping, no electrical appliance humming. Nothing. Then, she hadâŠ
Which Lifestyle Choices Make Your A-Fib More Severe? What You Can Do
Most A-Fib patients have one or more lifestyle factor risk that makes A-Fib symptoms more severe and makes treating A-Fib more difficult with increased risk of complications. Modifying lifestyle factors can have an enormous impact on the severity of your A-Fib symptoms, reduce the frequency of A-Fib episodes, or even eliminate it entirely. Lifestyle factors can also affect the longevity of aâŠ
Smartphones: Emergency Medical ID Info Access, No Passcode Required
Early cell phone users were able to list critical medical condition information (such as Atrial Fibrillation) as an âIn Case of Emergencyâ (ICE) contact in their Contacts folder. But todayâs smartphones are password protected. So, is there a work around for todayâs smartphones? Yes! Smartphone Can Still Offer Emergency Medical ID In an emergencyâif you are in an accident, fall ill orâŠ
2026 AF Symposium: GLP-1 Improved Post Ablation A-Fib
In my last 2026 AF Symposium report, I share with you one of the most impressive research findings of my reports. Potentially a new effective antiarrhythmic drugâand a new antiarrhythmic medication that works! At this yearâs AF Symposium, Dr. Gianluca Iacobellis (University of Miami, FL) gave a presentation entitled âThe Role of GLP-1 RA on AF and AF Ablation Outcomes.â GLP-1s (brand namesâŠ
Selecting the Right Cardiologist: 10 A-Fib Questions You've Got to Ask & What Their Answers Mean
I recently updated this post from a few years ago. This is a reminder of one of the several free downloads we offer to help you in your efforts to free yourself from the burden of Atrial Fibrillation. For others see âFree Reports, Worksheets and Downloadsâ. Searching for the right cardiologist or electrophysiologist for your Atrial Fibrillation? Itâs not any easy task. Itâs important you matchâŠ
Updated: What is Your Portable Medical Information Kit?
Iâve updated this page with the newest examples (with links to each) of how to carry your personal medical information with you, but it all starts with knowing what information you should compile. When you have A-Fib and youâre taking a blood thinner or other medication, you may wonder if you should carry an emergency I.D. card or wear a medical bracelet. According to a paramedic with 25 years ofâŠ
Get Your COVID-19 Virus Booster Shots: A-Fib Patients at Higher Risk
COVID-19 (caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) typically is a threat to the lungs, but it also can worsen any existing cardiovascular disease. Atrial Fibrillation and COVID-19 are a common and potentially a lethal combination. Comorbid Conditions Increase Fatality Rate Many A-Fib patients also suffer from other chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. With comorbid conditions,âŠ
2026 AF Symposium SpotlightâHow Hospitals Are Using AI for Patient Remote Monitoring
At the 2026 AF Symposium Spotlight SessionâNew and Emerging Technologies in EP, Dr. Babak Bozorgnia (Lehigh Valley Health Center, Allentown, PA) gave a presentation on using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in actual clinical practice. Dr. Babak Bozorgnia His talk âA Practical Guide to AI in EP Remote Monitoring: Workflow, Evidence, and Impactâ was unusual in that he did not promote a particular AIâŠ
2026 AF Symposium Challenging Cases in AF Management and Stroke Prevention
This is one of my personal favorite sessions, though itâs also one of the least attended (probably because people are leaving early to catch a plane home on the last day of the Symposium). In this Saturday afternoon session, doctors talk about their most difficult and challenging cases with honesty and humility. Presentations were 5 minutes long followed by 5-minute discussions. 91-year-oldâŠ
I'm Still A-Fib-Free: Steve's A-Fib Recurrences and Touch-up Ablations 2019-2026
I realized that itâs been about 5 years since I shared my Atrial Fibrillation updates with the readers of A-Fib.com. Since 2021, Iâm blessed to be free of A-Fib once again. That was the year that I had recurrence of my A-Fib 20 years after my initial catheter ablation and was cured in Bordeaux, France. You can read my early story here. But for now, let me take you back to 2019. 2019: My A-FibâŠ
2026 AF Symposium: Case Transmission-Results of Catheter Ablation+ Watchman
Concomitant ablation is becoming a standardized or normal practice at many A-Fib centers. I counted 9 sessions and/or cases dealing with concomitant ablation at this yearâs AF Symposium. (See also my report on Dr. David Weismanâs live transmission of a Concomitant Ablation using the Nuvision 4-D ICE system.) Image ACUSON Nuvision 4-D ICE system (stock image) In a pre-recorded live case we saw Dr.âŠ
2026 AF Symposium: The ADVENT-LTO 4-Year Study of PFA vs. Thermal Ablations
Dr. Vivek Reddy Considering a Catheter Ablation for your Atrial Fibrillation? To make an informed decision of type of catheter ablation, read about the findings from the ADVNT-LTO study that compared the newer Pulsed Field Ablation to RF/Cryo Catheter Ablation. At the 2026 AF Symposium, Dr. Vivek Reddy (Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, NY) gave a presentation on âLong Term Outcomes of PulsedâŠ
2026 AF Symposium Live Case: Combining PVI with Watchman Device
A Concomitant Ablation combines a Pulmonary Vein Ablation and installation of a Watchman occlusion device in the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) in one procedure. While once considered innovative or somewhat unusual, itâs no longer so. Instead, at many A-Fib centers itâs a standardized or normal practice. At the 2026 AF Symposium, I counted 9 sessions and/or cases dealing with concomitantâŠ

How A-Fib Robs You of Your Heart Health: Let Me Count the 11 Ways
I first published this in 2021, but we all (especially newer A-Fib readers) should be reminded of the cost of staying in Atrial Fibrillation (instead of seeking your cure). Remember: Aim for a cure, not a life on medication. Atrial Fibrillation is a disease of the heart but affects your overall health as well. It is often said, âA-Fib begets A-Fibâ. Itâs a progressive disease and isâŠ
Research: Moderate Exercise Impact on A-Fib Recurrence After Catheter Ablation
We all know the cardiovascular benefits of exercise for a healthy heart, but its effects on A-Fib recurrence following a catheter ablation and staying A-Fib-free long-term hasnât been studied. Until now! While this is a small study, itâs important to Atrial Fibrillation patients seeking a catheter ablation and a life free from A-Fib. Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz interviewedâŠ
