This article doesn’t quickly get to the beneficial point, which is that these people are only dying because they didn’t get a therapy (weight loss, exercise, surgery, etc.) that would have ended the condition for them.
The title sort of sucks, but the way to fix it all is in there.
Folks, if you have this condition, get it treated, in some permanent way, before you have a likely earlier death than you needed to have.
Even then, it isn’t a death sentence.
My father had afib for a a good 12 years before he passed.
He became more of a couch potato as he went on and didn’t lose weight and did not get a pacemaker.
Sometimes I wonder if 75% of all people over 40 have had an afib episode, or two, or three, or more, but their heart wasn’t monitored when it happened, so no one knows it actually happened, so it’s like it never happened and they can’t be said to have afib.
I had a cryogenic ablation 10 years ago. It was a miracle to me. I was in and out of the hospital in a day and a week later I was back at the gym. No problem
The biggest risk with ablations is the quality of the surgeons doing the work. If you get a guy who has been doing them every day for a couple years—you’re probably in safe hands.
Its the newbies that kill. You don’t want to be on some guy’s learning curve.
Yep.
My dad had it, my two younger brothers both have it. I was probably on my way to it but I went carnivore six years ago. I dropped weight and got healthy.
