Drug Therapy vs. Catheter Ablation for Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation

Travis Van Slooten |November 25, 2014 | 4 Comments

Everyone who has atrial fibrillation eventually faces the tough decision to manage their condition with drugs or some kind of surgical procedure – and many times it requires both! It’s a constant debate, but for some folks like me, there is no debate. You already know what you want to do. The thought of a life on daily drugs just isn’t an option for me – not yet anyway. This is why I have elected to have an ablation. For […]

Another Atrial Fibrillation Episode (Thank God)

Travis Van Slooten |November 21, 2014 | 4 Comments

What an interesting day yesterday. I had my initial consult with Dr. Natale down in Austin, TX nine days ago. I’ll be publishing a blog post about my appointment soon. I’ve been really busy so I haven’t had a chance to get to it yet but I will soon (hopefully in the next few days). I’ll give you a hint…Dr. Natale is going to do my ablation! I didn’t hear from his scheduling office until yesterday afternoon. I had a […]

When It Comes to Exercising, Moderation is Key

Travis Van Slooten |November 10, 2014 | Leave a Comment

In the past, I’ve talkd about how some doctors suspect that very intense workouts can put you at risk for Afib. That’s why we see Afib episodes in some long distance runners and race horses. Exercise is very good for you, that there’s even more evidence to suggest that taking it slow and steady is the way to go. A study presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2010 showed extended and vigorous exercise, such as running a marathon, might raise […]

An Active Football Coach Cures His Atrial Fibrillation With an Ablation

Travis Van Slooten |November 6, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Here’s another success story I just spotted. This one came out of Huffington, WV. It’s about J.C. Price, a football coach who suffered from AF, but who is now back in the game. He went in for a cathetar ablation, and is doing better now. You can read the full story here. I sort of wish these newspapers would do follow-up stories when they feature a success story. We always hear about the initial success, but we never hear anything […]

My Most Pleasurable Atrial Fibrillation Episode To Date

Travis Van Slooten |November 5, 2014 | 25 Comments

Well it had to happen. I was hoping to go at least another week or more without an episode but no such luck. At least I got a slight reprieve and was able to go two weeks between my last episode instead of one. This one came on at 9:45 p.m. last night (Monday night). This is starting to get really scary because my last three episodes now have been on Monday or Tuesday night at almost exactly 9:45 p.m. […]
