In this episode of the "About That Life" podcast, Dr. Batts interviews Dr. Larry Jackson II, a leading cardiologist and electrophysiologist, about the important topic of atrial fibrillation (Afib).  

Dr. Jackson shares his personal journey into cardiology, inspired by loss and fueled by passion for caring for all people. He then delves deep into the world of electrophysiology, explaining the role of an electrophysiologist in managing heart rhythm disorders. 

The discussion focuses extensively on Afib - the most common heart rhythm disorder in aging adults. Dr. Jackson covers the definition, symptoms, risk factors, and the comprehensive approach to managing Afib, including stroke prevention, heart rate control, and rhythm management strategies. 

Listeners will gain valuable insights on how to prevent Afib, the importance of early engagement with a cardiologist, and the message that no one is alone in this fight against Afib. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about heart health, especially Afib, and serves as an educational resource to have an informed conversation with your physician. Remember, Afib may slow you down, but it doesn't have to stop you from living intentionally forever.
