Patient Perspectives: Long-Distance Running and Mountain Biking in Permanent Atrial Fibrillation
11/30/2014
Being in persistent atrial fibrillation (afib) is sort of like being a pickup truck with a four-speed manual transmission, but you can only use second and third gear. I’m a 55-year-old distance runner and mountain biker in permanent atrial...
