EKGwatch Cardiac Intervention from a Patient's Perspective

I know from personal experience how scary the thought of having Cardioversion or Open-heart Surgery can be. I also know how little information is available on what these things mean from a patient's perspective; i.e. what it's like from the vantage point of someone who's been through it. It is my hope, by sharing my experiences here, that I can help others avoid some of the fear, anxiety and pitfalls I suffered through over the past several years. Please feel free to Email me should you have any specific questions, concerns or comments about the site.

Update: 19-Sept-2009
To my great amazement, Emails keep coming in from fellow cardiac patients, or the loved ones of cardiac patients, commenting about this site, telling me how much it has helped them, and relaying their own personal experience with problems and procedures talked about here. Many of these Emails have also expressed concern about my state of health and offered words of encouragement.  I don't have words to express how happy this has made me.  It has, however, made me feel a tad guilty for not maintaining it better (the last update was done four years ago). Some recent events have renewed my commitment to the website and I promise to do a better job of maintaining it in the future as long as I possibly can. On that note, to see what has been happening to me health wise and for information on some of my related activities, observations, etc., click here or on the  'What New?' button at the bottom of any page.
