About Mellanie True Hills and StopAfib.org
Over five million Americans suffer from atrial fibrillation, the most common irregular heartbeat, where the heart beats out of control with little warning and for no apparent reason. This frightening and debilitating condition can lead to congestive heart failure, stroke, or even death.
Mellanie True Hills, heart health expert and author of the award-winning A Woman’s Guide to Saving Her Own Life: The HEART Program for Health and Longevity, found life with afib to be paralyzing and terrifying.
After being cured, she couldn’t stand on the sidelines and watch others suffer, knowing the huge physical, emotional, and financial toll that afib takes. It was only natural that she would start the American Foundation for Women’s Health and a new atrial fibrillation patient resource, www.StopAfib.org, to help others deal with this daunting condition.
Mellanie and StopAfib.org are featured in the Fall issue of Better Homes & Gardens’ Heart-Healthy Living magazine.
