Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month: Free Report for Families from Steve S. Ryan, PhD and A-Fib.com

MALIBU, Calif. - Sept. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- September is National Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month.
When a patient is diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, family members often struggle to understand what their loved one is going through. A-Fib can be a life-altering disease―yet people with A-Fib don’t look sick. A-Fib not only impacts the patient’s health and quality of life but also the lives (and often livelihood) of their loved ones and co-workers.

At Atrial Fibrillation: Resources for Patients (A-Fib.com), we've fielded hundreds of questions from patients since we started in 2002. Over the years, we've answered the most common ones on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages. We've compiled the answers to the ten most often asked questions by family members in to a special 5-page Free Report: The Top 10 Questions Families Ask About Atrial Fibrillation.

Atrial Fibrillation: The New Epidemic in Cardiovascular Disease
Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) seen by physicians. It's estimated that at least 2.2 million Americans have atrial fibrillation, and by 2050 that number will rise to over 7.5 million. Because it is common in people over age 60, the aging 'baby boomer" generation will be part of this coming "epidemic".

A-Fib is one of the most under treated heart rhythm disorders in America and accounts for about one-third of hospital admissions. Treating A-Fib patients costs the U.S. $26 billion annually. For more facts about Atrial Fibrillation, visit: www.A-FibFacts.info.
