Bruce Bochy’s first bout of atrial fibrillation happened on Thanksgiving Day, 2014.

The Poway resident turned to Scripps, and after an especially severe A-fib incident in the middle of the 2017 season, his doctors recommended ablation, which destroys the abnormal cells triggering A-fib. The procedures were done during All Star break and at the end of the season. He was back on his feet for 2018. Read more about Bochy’s big healthcare win here.
