Reclaim Your Rhythm

Evidence-Based, Expert-Led Afib Self-Management Programs

The Reclaim Your Rhythm programs, created by an experienced Afib specialist nurse practitioner, bridges the gap between medical treatment and sustainable self-management.

Modeled after the evidence-based Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP), this approach is proven to improve quality of life, medication adherence, and communication with providers while reducing hospital visits and healthcare costs.

By combining Afib-specific education with proven self-management strategies, this program empowers participants to take control of their heart health, reduce symptoms, and improve long-term outcomes.
