“It was the right decision for me.” Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common irregular heartbeat condition. Valley Health System has a dedicated center for treating it, called The Snyder Center for Comprehensive Atrial Fibrillation. We don’t simply treat AFib — we provide evidence-based care that emphasizes overall health. Here’s Arlene’s story. Arlene is a wife, mother and fiber artist — expressing her creativity through knitting, crocheting and spinning her own yarn. When Arlene was diagnosed with AFib, she decided to have doctors keep an eye on her condition. Over the years, the effects of AFib made every part of her life challenging. When she didn’t even have the energy to be creative, she knew she had to do something. See how Arlene’s choice to seek treatment at Valley helped restore her creativity at MyStory.ValleyHealth.com.
