WOODRUFF, Wis. – Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is a common but serious heart condition that significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart failure if left untreated. Symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and dizziness can impact your ability to stay active and diminish your quality of life.
To help people better understand and manage this condition, Aspirus Heart Care will host a free seminar at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27, at The Pointe Hotel & Suites, 8269 US-51, in Minocqua. The event will cover the relationship between A-fib, stroke and heart failure, as well as the innovative treatment options available through Aspirus Heart Care. Registration is requested.
Aspirus Heart Care specialists John Johnkoski, MD, cardiothoracic surgeon, Andrew Mykytsey, MD, electrophysiologist, and Stephen Thorp, MD, cardiothoracic surgeon, will provide insights into managing A-fib.
