Jay's story: Overcoming atrial fibrillation (AFib)

IU Health Bloomington Hospital

Jay Martin hasn't let atrial fibrillation (AFib) hold him back from pursuing his passion as an entertainer.

Whether he’s clowning at rodeos, driving monster trucks, or acting in movies, Martin has always found a way to keep moving forward.

"This year, I decided to step down so I could get my health in order and come back next year stronger than ever,” says Martin.

After four years of struggling with AFib symptoms, Martin turned to John Strobel, MD, for help. Following an AFib ablation, he says he feels energized and has regained his quality of life.
