PATIENT STORIES How Two Women Were Liberated from Atrial Fibrillation

Mills-Peninsula Medical Center

Madlyn Del Grande and Rocky Oakley had different symptoms but the same problem: Atrial fibrillation was running their lives. Del Grande's heart would start racing irregularly out of nowhere, while Oakley would have episodes of irregular heartbeats that got worse over time. The care both women received at Sutter Health helped them lead normal lives again.
