I am 69 and had one of the first open heart surgeries done in Los Angeles at 9 years. ( for an ASD) There is still a small leak but mostly corrected

How can I manage persistent AF
I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a Pacemaker fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight). Any periods of AF I’ve had up to now have been 5/

Mitral Valve Clip
I was recently diagnosed with severe regurgitation of my Tricuspid Valve amongst other things. My Cardiologist is referring me to a team of specialists to see if I would be better to have open heart surgery or the Mitral Valve Clip procedure. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience

Change from Apaxiban to Edoxaban?
Surgery rang this Saturday(!) afternoon. Asked whether I would agree to switch from to Edoxaban. Over 4 years I have not had any side effects from Apixaban nor have tests revealed any problems. Has anyone made this switch? Also, the nurse said the advantage was that I would only take one pill, instead

4th Open Heart Surgery - Valve Replacement
Hi! My dad is having to have his 4th OHS in the coming weeks and I'm feeling a bit scared and anxious about it all. His last one was only in July 2021 - they are replacing the same valve that was replaced last time plus another one. Does anyone have any experience of having 4 open heart surgeries? Many

Statins to be extended to 15m extra people

Dental extraction.
My question is regarding dental extraction. At the end of this month, I am due to have four dental extractions: Two stumps (it’s a long story); the root of a crown which came off recently and where there is insufficient root left to re-join the crown; and a leaking abscess which appeared the day before

AF rears it’s ugly head again
The Dr who examined me also said I had a
heart
murmur
? This was news to me? Or is it the same thing as eptopics? I didn’t even ask questions as I’d been there for so long and I was tired and weary and just couldn’t wait to get home and allow the meds to take their course.

It's A Wonderful Life!
My wife and I took advantage of some unseasonable sunshine today and went for a walk along the coast here in Hampshire. As we walked I was struck by just how much my life has changed since I had bypass surgery five years ago. This walk features some challenging climbs up and down from the cliffs, and

Left Atrial Shunt
I have had AF for 9 years. I currently take Bisoprolol and Apixaban. I have had two ablations, neither of which stopped the AF. However the second ablation in 2019 left an Atrial septum defect I.e. a hole between the two atria which apparently causes a left atrial shunt. The arrhythmia nurse who I saw
