It\u2019s truly why we started, to bring folks together to see if they have questions or concerns, and to provide helpful information about whatever might come up with their atrial fibrillation,\u2019\u2019 said Anne Bakken, a cardiac nurse who formed the group for the benefit of patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to give people a place where they can bounce ideas off of each other, give suggestions and be there to support each other,\u2019\u2019 Bakken said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11008\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11008\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11008 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/07\/11084936\/bakkeneee.webp\" alt=\"Anne Bakken\" width=\"300\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/07\/11084936\/bakkeneee.webp 701w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/07\/11084936\/bakkeneee-300x283.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/07\/11084936\/bakkeneee-150x142.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/07\/11084936\/bakkeneee-200x189.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anne Bakken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Every quarter, Bakken selects a different topic \u2013 medication management, dietary, and Watchman, a device implanted into the heart to reduce the risk of stroke caused by AFib.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good information,\u2019\u2019 Dotson said. \u201cThey have good speakers and they\u2019re very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Diagnosed in 2007 with AFib, Dotson takes a prescribed medication and an 81-milligram aspirin every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had (AFib) before then, but I didn\u2019t know what it was.
