Third Attempt.and Fail
Well, Made a trip four hours away to another EP to attempt another ablation for Atrial Tachycardia. Yet again, now a second time, this ridiculously elusive rhythm evaded them and they could not do the ablation . Not sure what options that I have left to me now. Probably will have to take Metoprolol,

Helping a parent through post op recovery
We are four days into double
heart
bypass
surgery
and the sadness and anxiety about what lay ahead as well and truly kicked in (along with the AF)!!! I rack my brain thinking what would I want and need from my loved ones if I was in HDU missing life, missing myself??

Misdiagnosis
I am reasonably new to this site and have found it incredibly useful and informative. However, I recently received a bombshell, in that I have possibly been misdiagnosed with AF. I visited my GP at the end of September in 2023 with severe palpitations and given three ECGs. Two of these were viewed by

Hi, quite new to this forum and this is my first post. Recently diagnosed with Afib, 58 year old man, otherwise healthy. I have different types of episodes. Some seem to be just ectopics - sporadic skipped beats; some I guess Afib since lasting longer with a "bird in the chest/stomach " sensation and

Hi all. I suffer with Severe Spinal Stenosis. I’ve already had Laminectomy (Decompression) surgery which only worked for about 3 months the pain then returned. This has been going on for the last 5 years and, unfortunately, in the meantime I had to have a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair

Spent 4 days in the hospital and they told me I now have heart failure - cardiologist has recommended a pace and ablate in January and offered me Entresto but I hate to add new meds to my already mix

Some bad news…
I had a bypass a year ago and everything seemed to be going fairly well. I noticed a bit of chest pain in May but this seemed to pass over and the consultant wasn’t too concerned. However, two or three weeks ago I noticed some left-sided chest/arm/shoulder pain when cycling and this has got progressively

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.

Hi. So glad for this site. Newly diagnosed with a-fib, along with heart failure (diastolic). Walked into the emergency room here at local hospital Nov. 5th., thinking that I had a possible DVT because of on-going left leg swelling, after blood test and x-rays told I had a-fib which was the reason for

Lung Transplant appointment 28/11/23 Cancellled for the 2nd time due to Failure of Patient Transport
I was supposed to be having my lung transplant assessment today (28/11) at 2.45 but as before the NWAS didnt turn up. The manager at the Transplant section phoned & told me if I didnt come to the hospital they wouldn't see me. We had to explain we were waiting for the ambulance - he then cancelled the

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his

Mitral Valve Clip
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 about this procedure. Manny Thanks 😊

Question for anyone who has had Open heart surgery
A month ago I had OHS and went straight into Afib. I have had a pacemaker inserted 2 years ago. I had a cardioversion yesterday and I feel like I’ve gone back to week one with the pain on my right boob. I want to know from anyone who’s had this surgery if their breasts were soooo sore. I do have

Dissected Aorta Type A
Hello, my father is a 78 year old man who has recently been diagnosed with a dissected aorta type A. He had quadruple heart bypass 11 years ago. In October 2023 he stopped taking his Furosemide- a stupid thing to do as it started off a rollercoaster of health problems, now resulting in this diagnosis

Pernicious Anaemia is the worst
Have congenital
heart
disease too and after having complex
heart
surgery
two years ago my health got critical. I have reduced kidney function too. Yikes. Anyone else got similar health issues. Am being treated for PA but fed up with having all of it at the same time.

New diagnosis for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm help please
I didn’t even know I had had a
heart
attack because the pain was minimal. I was told after
surgery
my artery was 99.9% diseased and I was very lucky to be here. After my kidney operation I was taken off most of my heart meds because of low blood pressure.

Anti-coagulants after (Aortic) heart valve replacement surgery?
Just comparing experiences re anti-coagulants with others who have had (Aortic)
heart
valve replacement
surgery
. For those with a ‘mechanical’ replacement valve, it’s straightforward – i.e., a standard requirement to go on Warfarin (or equivalent?) for life.
