Best Non-fiction Book That I Have Read?
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.

Great overview of AFib and its treatment
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.

Outstanding Book
This is a truly wonderful and informative book about AFib, best I have ever read! The Dr explains everything one needs to know about what Aviv is and how to control it. He tells you more than your Dr ever does and I am truly grateful for all knowledge!

Easy to understand book
Excellent book for explaining what happens with Afib for ordinary people like me. It has diagrams; talks about medicines; brief studies of why things were done for different scenarios since everybody is not alike. I got another copy to give to a friend and one for my brother-in-law, who also has Afib.
