Beat Your A-Fib: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Cure: Written in everyday language for patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Trudie C Lobban, Founder & CEO, Atrial Fibrillation Association (AFA)"...well written, easy to understand, comprehensive and a great resource for patients and caregivers living with atrial fibrillation."The Midwest Book Review, June 2012:"...a solid guide to combating this emerging cardiovascular epidemic. ... Beat Your A-Fib is a "must read" for anyone suffering from or at risk for this serious medical condition."James A. Cox, Editor-in-ChiefPublisher of Patient Safety America, writes "...If your cardiologist diagnoses you with A-fib, you have a myriad of choices to deal with your illness. The thesis of Dr. Ryan's book is that a cure is better than management with drugs...The text is easy to read and elaborates with clear diagrams, relevant examples, lessons learned, and snippets of 'wisdom.' ... an excellent place to build your knowledge of this disease so that you can be a full partner with your cardiologist in deciding your best course of treatment..." December 2012. John T. James, PhD, Patient Safety AmericaPierre Jaïs, M.D. , Professor of Cardiology, Haut-Lévêque Hospital in Pessac, Bordeaux, France"...incredibly complete and easy-to-understand for anybody....One of the critical thoughts of this book is written on page 165 and says"don't let anyone, especially your doctor, tell you that A-Fib isn't that serious, or you should just learn to live with it".  I must admit this is unfortunately not unusual and has never been helpful to patients who are disabled by their atrial fibrillation. One may in fact think that this book should be read by physicians as well."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."
