By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Atrial fibrillation is not a heart condition. It is a systemic bodily disease that is triggered by long-term substrate causes. You must understand what caused your AFib in order to fight it.

#2 The better course of action is to search for the unique and specific underlying cause of your atrial fibrillation, since this is usually a combination of causes. And the cause is usually a combination of causes for each person.

#3 Some people inherit a genetic predisposition to atrial fibrillation. However, there is nothing you can do about your genes, except try to avoid inherited conditions that may be linked to AFib.

#4 The most common cause of AFib is other cardiovascular conditions. The damage done to your heart by long-term AFib medications could be increased by the side effects of these medications, which could potentially increase the risk of adverse outcomes related to other heart conditions.
