Welcome to the Atrial Fibrillation Blog, sponsored by StopAfib.org.

This blog is for talking about living with atrial fibrillation (afib) and ways to deal with it. If your heart has ever felt like a flopping fish, a bag of wiggly worms, or fluttering butterflies, you may have atrial fibrillation, the most common irregular heartbeat. You can find out more about how to tell at StopAfib.org.

If you or a loved one suffers from atrial fibrillation, please join us on a journey of exploration to help us wipe out afib.

  1. Given the importance of being well informed, I thought this link might be useful, since good medical information concerning atrial fibrillation can be found there.

  2. Has anyone out there had a myxoma tumor which caused afib? I had one, had open heart surgery to remove it. It was diagnosed when I started having afib and subsequently had an echocardiogram. My cardiac surgeon said that I was extremely fortunate because these tumors are usually found in an autopsy. Comments, please. Thanks jp

  3. I began having A-fib last November. I was sent by a cardiologist to a very well known medical center where a heart ablation was performed 5 1/2 months ago. The electrophysiologist thought everything was fine at my two month check-up. At my five month check-up a CT scan was done. It revealed that during the ablation procedure, two of my pulmonary veins had been damaged. One is mildly damaged, the other moderately. Yesterday I had a perfusion scan done which, depending on the results of that, will tell if I need to have a stent in one of my pulmonary veins. Does anyone know the success rate and life expectancy after having a stent placed in a pulmonary vein? Any information will be greatly appreciated
