Knowledge is power, and knowledge is an antidote to fear of the unknown. In plain language, Dr. Bishop explains how the heart works, what happens when AFib occurs, and how it can lead to clot formation and stroke if left undetected and untreated. He then moves on to the various treatment options, illustrated with case histories. A must-read for those with AFib, and those who care about those with AFib.

An important topic, which is laid out in plain English by Dr Bishop. Atrial fibrillation is becoming a huge health concern and this books helps translate the science into information that everyone can use and understand.

Good information and easy to understand. I have AF along with cardiomyopathy so I do see a cardiologist every six months. I do everything that i can to manage my health. This book ads valuable knowledge to my management.

Last October I was in Calvary hospital, Hobart, for revision of an artificial hip. My cardiovascular system decided to play a few games with the result that I was referred to Cardiology. After a battery of tests I was informed by Mr Warrick Bishop that I was suffering from Atrial Fibrillation. This charming gentleman briefly explained what that is and prescribed a treatment regime which I am still following. He did mention that he had written a book on the subject!
Recently, after a completing a messy move to Burnie, I purchased a copy of Warrick's book and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down! It is a masterpiece of form and function approaching the topic from different perspectives and absolutely demystifying a complex subject - this is from someone who gave up biology in 2nd year of high school! Interestingly I find answers to medical situations that had arisen with my parents and with other people of a similar vintage. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is also available as a Kindle eBook which is great for having to hand and preserving my copy of the excellent hardback version.
