Dr. Ryan had his first A-Fib attack in the January 1997. After numerous failed drug therapies, two unsuccessful right atria ablations, and much frustration, he educated himself about Atrial Fibrillation through an exhaustive search of medical literature and interviews with medical experts. Dr. Steve Ryan earned a Ph.D. in Educational Communications from the Ohio State University, and for many years taught film and television courses at the college level. Steve Ryan is ‘The A-Fib Coach’: If you have an urgent question or an important treatment decision to make, consider a one-on-one phone consultation with Steve S. Ryan, PhD.
