57 Year-Old Musician Suffering from Atrial Fibrillation Successfully Treated By a Catheter Ablation

Travis Van Slooten |January 20, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Afib kept interfering with Paul Silver’s life. He is a symphony musician in Pittsburgh, PA who often had to travel. He had episodes on flights–scary! He received a catheter ablation (called a PVI in the article) and it was a great success. Today, Paul feels like a completely different person. “I haven’t had any episodes of atrial fibrillation since I had my PVI. The odds are very high that I won’t have a recurrence of arrhythmias.

Yoga for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation?

Travis Van Slooten |January 3, 2015 | Leave a Comment

We’ve talked about the benefits of yoga before, but I wanted to take a moment to share a newer article promoting its benefits. One reason yoga is so beneficial is it’s less intense, less boring, and less painful than many forms of exercise, which makes it easier to stick to. But it’s also been tested extensively for its benefits to heart health. A group of researchers set out to study whether yoga can modify traditional cardiac risk factors. They did […]
