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.
I was told a few months ago by some excellent sources he has some exciting new coming....let'd see what he says

I see they get an ice cream break. :-) petey
Let's sneak in! Yes things are rapidly changing in the AFIB world.
All those topics need to be addressed as they will eventually pertain to all of us.
