Retirement-refirement reading: I need to read NYT article on rapid and irregular heart beat-atrial fibrillation
July 07, 2007
A note to myself:
Read this New York Times article from today's online edition about the treatment for rapid and irregular heartbeat, also called atrial fibrillation.
Billions are spent by insurance companies to treat this problem, the story says. Best hope to treat for a cure is a procedure known as catheter-based ablation.
My reason to read this: My mom suffered from this and she had a stroke. I don't know how much of this you inherit, but I imagine there's a good chance that I could.
I wonder how many non-medical types stay informed about health conditions they have or could inherit?
