Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs.

The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
