John and Heidi show. I know we just turned the page. It's a
brand new month. It's October. September was a FIB awareness month. We
tried so hard to make this happen last month, but we missed last month.
But we're still going to make you aware of APHIB. We've got two
guests, Melanie Truehill from stopapib dot org and doctor Minu Turakia. And first
of all, doctor tell me what is a FIB for folks that maybe don't
know a whole lot about this. Hey, John, thanks so much for
having us. Relation or APHIB is a common heart rhythm disorder. It's an
irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm, and it occurs when the upper chambers
of the heart contract erratically. It's incredibly common, especially as you get older,
and in the US there's five to eight million people diagnosed with it now.
Some people are aware of a FIB when they're in it. Their heart
races, they feel palpitation, they may get dizzy or lightheaded, some feel
like a fish is flopping around in their chests. But quite often people may
not be aware. You might feel a little fatigued or get more winded with
a racing art more than usual walking up a hill, but you may not
think anything of it. And it's important because acid can cause silent damage to
your heart and over time can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and
other problems. Thank you so much. Also, we have Melanie Truehill's joining
us with stopafib dot org. And Melanie, how did you get involved in
all of this? Well, first of all, I'm an apecation I appreciate
you having a patient on as well. I had a FIB for about twenty
two months. A FIB hijacked my life and you know, I just couldn't
go anywhere by myself for fear I'd have a stroke. I had a procedure
and I've been API three for more than seventeen years, but I couldn't watch
other people suffer like I had, So I started a nonprofit, I'll Stop
aphib dot org to help us living with the APHIB to get their lives back.
And I knew at the time that APIB was the most common unknown condition,
so I knew we needed to raise awareness of it, and I created
a five awareness month in order to do so. We started that in September
two thousand and seven, and we raise awareness of APIB and we get people
diagnosed and treated before they have a stroke. And early detection really makes a
big difference, doesn't it totally? John, you said it, well,
the good news is that acid is readily treatable and its complications are preventable.
And that's why, as you said, awareness and early detection are so critical,
and you need to diagnose this before you can act. That comes in
the form of an electric cardiogram or an ECG, an electrical photographs of your
heart that captures the exact time that you're in a FIB. It wasn't long
ago that you had to go to your doctor's office and get one of these,
but now, as technologies progressed, you can wear monitors at home that
can do this. They can record your heart's electrical signal, almost like a
continuous video recording. And there's a lot of different types out there, lasting
as short as thirty seconds and going on up to fourteen days. And we
know from clinical studies that the duration matters because these orihythmias come and go.
And at IORITHM, we've been offering our Zeo Zio cardiac monitoring service for over
fifteen years and we're launching our next generation device, the Zeo Monitor, that
can do just the size of a medium sized bandage and can continuously record the
hearts activity for up to fourteen days for your doctor. And this is something
that many people listening could even have it and not even know. This is
pretty common. There's a lot of famous people as well, Hwie Mandel,
Larry Bird, Barrymanelow, President Biden, and again on the line with us.
Right now, we have Melanie Truehill's with stopaphib dot org. She was
also diagnosed with a FIB. Before being diagnosed, Melanie, did you know
anything at all about this? So when I was first diagnosed, AFIB was
still a very unknown condition. I didn't know anything about it. I was
actually a heart patient. I had just had a stint seven months earlier,
and then all of a sudden this hit and I wasn't really sure what it
was or what to do about it. So I did a lot of research
and that research helped, but there wasn't a lot out there, and that
was a big part of the reason that when I did have my procedure and
got APHIB three, I wanted to launch stop apib dot com in order to
help other people learn about it and figure it out. Because a FIB is
physically exhausting, it's emotionally and psychologically draining, and it's even financially devastating,
So it's important for people to know what to expect and how to best manage
this condition. Doctor Tikia and Melanie, thank you so much for what you
guys are doing. Melanie, what is the website? Once again? Stop
apib dot org is a great place to get started learning about APIB and to
