Excellent book for explaining what happens with Afib for ordinary people like me. It has diagrams; talks about medicines; brief studies of why things were done for different scenarios since everybody is not alike. I got another copy to give to a friend and one for my brother-in-law, who also has Afib.

Great!

Knowledge is power, and knowledge is an antidote to fear of the unknown. In plain language, Dr. Bishop explains how the heart works, what happens when AFib occurs, and how it can lead to clot formation and stroke if left undetected and untreated. He then moves on to the various treatment options, illustrated with case histories. A must-read for those with AFib, and those who care about those with AFib.

This book successfully explains a complex subject in language that a normal intelligent person can understand. As a person with the condition, it has helped me understand the causes, and what contribution I myself can make to minimise the effects. It also assisted me to fully comprehend the cocktail of pharmacies proposed and implemented by my specialist doctor. The writer clarifies how each piece of the jigsaw works in combination to enable me to continue enjoying a satisfactory lifestyle, while minimising the chance of dangerous medical emergencies caused by the AF condition.
