Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Support Group

Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia) which involves the two small, upper heart chambers (the atria). Heart beats in a normal heart begin after electricity generated in the atria by the sinoatrial node spread through the heart and cause contraction of the heart muscle and pumping of blood.

Hey Pianoman (I like the moniker), these sources should help:

I live in Minneapolis, MN and this is my current EP:
http://wellness.allinahealth.org/providers/1220

You want to find an EP that is part of the Heart Rhythm Society. The EP I'm seeing is. You can find others by using this directory:
http://www.hrsonline.org/Find-a-Specialist#axzz3G8bbNEPG

Then you can use these sources as well:
http://a-fib.com/2014-us-directory-by-statecity-m/#MINNESOTA
http://a-fib.com/2014-steves-lists/steves-list-fhrs-doctors/#Minnesota

If you find someone good, let me know! I like my EP but I'm trying to figure out how many ablations he does specifically for afib. I want to find someone in MN that is a rock star at afib ablations.

I also went with an EP at the Minneapolis Heart Institute that Travis' doc practices at, though a different one. They have a "team" approach, however, and I like that.

Before my first ablation, I had numerous nurses and other staff tell me that the EP doing my ablation was the one they'd go with if they ever needed an ablation, that he was the best. For whatever that's worth. Since my second ablation on July 7th, I've not had any further Afib.
