Atrial Fibrillation Awareness & Resources

"Literally, StopAfib.org changed my life."

After Alexis Lee’s doctor diagnosed him with afib in 2008, he spent nine months in and out of hospitals, not receiving the information he needed and living in fear. Finally, he found StopAfib.org, which provided him with the information he needed—in plain English. He began to see that taking his life back really was possible.

"The options that keep coming every year are new; they’re developed by innovators in the field — some of the genuinely best working in this area."

When afib stopped former ski instructor Bill Hyde from skiing with his wife, he was already empowered with the information he needed to discuss his treatment options—thanks to what he’d learned during our annual patient conference. In this video, he explains how StopAfib.org and the conference have improved his quality of life, and why he keeps coming back, year after year.

"Come to this patient conference because it’s amazing, the accessibility of doctors here. They are willing to spend time and talk to you. It’s just truly amazing."

Robert Levin, a repeat attendee of the annual Atrial Fibrillation Patient Conference, highly recommends the conference to anyone living with afib. In fact, even though he’s now afib-free, he comes back annually to take in the high-quality information.

"I knew there had to be a better way, and it was going to be up to me to find it. I found this conference, and it gave me my answer."

Although Sandi Fezatt Schrameyer’s doctor recommended a pacemaker after three failed ablations, she said, “No way.” She knew she wanted to try a different option, and after learning about the mini maze procedure at our conference, she had one. She is now afib-free and medication-free.
