Post Ablation change in meds
I have/had PAF and had been taking Sotalol 120 2x daily, Diltiazem 120 1x and Eliquis before my ablation which occurred in January 2022. Since I had no further occurrences of Afib, my EP reduced the Sotalol to 80 2x in April. During my follow up visit with my EP this week he discontinued the Sotalol

How bad is it?
Does anyone understand BNP levels mine is 2963ng/L I think normal is between 0.0. 150. I think it indicates heart failure but not sure. Before I can have echocardiogram privately I need referral from GP who would you believe it is off sick!!

Has anyone used a TENS machine to stimulate the Vagus nerve via the ear to reduce Afib?
I have Vagal Afib and recently started using a tens machine on my left ear twice daily for 15 minutes. Applied to the Concha in the ear and the ear lobe to complete the circuit. 20hZ at 200 microseconds, wetting the ear and contacts with some saliva to get a good connection. I discovered 2 months ago

Flying/ cruise/ atrial flutter
recently diagnosed with
atrial
flutter
. I’ve have increasing episodes lately. I’m awaiting an ablation I was discharged from hospital a couple of days ago . I take edoxaban and have now restarted bisoprolol. I was taken off it due to low heart rate .

Irisin reduces AS aggregation
Amelioration of pathologic α-synuclein-induced Parkinson’s disease by irisin Irisin is an exercise-induced polypeptide secreted by skeletal muscle that crosses the blood–brain barrier and mediates certain effects of exercise. Here, we show that irisin prevents pathologic α-synuclein (α-syn)-induced

Afib has reared its ugly head again big time, for me.
After years of calm, when I only had an occasional flutter , Afib started again in April following which I had three or four episodes lasting a few hours. On Sunday I was sitting down reading and it started again, expecting it to last just the usual six of seven hours I was still in Af on Tuesday

How to stop irregular heartbeat and is there medicine to take for this
I just had an irregular heartbeat for 14 ½ hours. My blood pressure was down during part of this time. Lowest point 78/60 my heart beat was not above 93 at the highest point, it was fluctuating. I didn’t know how to get this to stop and return to normal. Is there medicine that I can take for this

Starting to get me down
I think I was doing this wrong as I would take 200mg when it happened rather than 100mg and my GP thinks this was too much and could have caused
atrial
flutter
rather than AFib. Stopped taking the daily dose yesterday as I have a cardiologist appointment today and boom, Afib at 0350 this morning.

On goin results on bomedemstat (LSD1 Inhibitor)
Hi All, I have been part of this great group for the last year or so, and although I wish none of us were here, I’m glad to have found an online community that shares the same concerns as myself. I’m 37 years old now and I was diagnosed with ET in 2009 when I was 24, so it was kind of a shock, but

NT-proBNP Level query
Trying to line up a few questions for a Cardio call in December and cannot seem to find this bit out. My last Se N-term pro BNP conc result was 444 ng/L, is this the same as pg/mL? It came back as abnormal with normal given as 0-400, I`m 66, so could I have Heart failure as no one has said I have.

Broccoli Sprout Beverage can clear Acrolein
I am doing a deep dive on the benefits of Broccoli Sprouts and/or Sulforaphane. There seem to be a lot of benefits, so I am posting on them one benefit at a time. As I post more information, I will add the new information to a master document on Broccoli Sprouts - Sulforaphane so we end up with a cohesive

How long does Bisoprolol take to work
Hi everyone. New to this forum. Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation just this weekend, 19 hours in hospital assessment unit, & treatment with Bisoprolol (10mg). Am on 10mg daily now, and have taken today's. Heart is still way too fast though - 90-110 resting. Any idea when it should revert to normal?

Do you live in the US? It is your last chance to Preserve Critical Catheter Ablation Access for AFIB Patients
To whom It may concern Last Chance to Preserve Critical Catheter Ablation Access for AFIB Patients. Recently we alerted you to a proposed draconian 40% cut in CMS payments to electrophysiologists (EPs) for performing AF catheter ablations. As previously mentioned, these cuts would cause long term catastrophic

Palpitations at night

What happens next please?
Advice sought from those further on the path please. I had a successful cardio version in July after 6.5 months of high rate permanent AF not well controlled by digoxin, bisoprolol, furosemide, and apixaban. I was told to just stop the digoxin after the cardio version which left me on 10mg of bisoprolol
