The Ablate part of the Pace and ablate procedure
In the AF Association leaflet it says the following: "The procedure does not restore the normal heart sinus rhythm and so the heart will not work as well as it would in the normal rhythm. Therefore symptom relief may not be as good as might be expected with restoration of the normal heart rhythm. " I've

Little boy with a serious heart condition needs help. Please read..
Thanks for taking a second to look at this for me. I'm currently 7 years old and have a serious heart condition, called a double inlet left ventricle. It means my heart doesn't have enough pumps and Chambers to function how it should. My condition is life threatening and life limiting, and will result

Long term medication effects
Hi all. Perhaps one or two of you out there are able to advise from your own experiences. I had a quadruple heart bypass in December last year, so I'm now almost six months post-op. As does everybody who goes through this situation, I have been put on medication, as prescribed by my cardiologist. Just

When to Stop Beta Blockers
Hi All - I’m wondering if the beta blockers I’m taking are doing more harm than good? I had never taken beta blockers (I’m now taking metoprolol 25 mg once a day) before my ablation, but after my ablation they were prescribed for the week following. Unfortunately I never felt comfortable not taking them

I have a kin interest in learning from anecdotal experiences.
Hi everyone, I read with interest many of the posts about AF that are similar to my issues and that is seems food is a trigger but mort interestingly I think chemicals in the food. I stopped all alcohol that didn’t seem to help. I eat organic and non GMO exclusively but when I eat at certain restaurants

We are so very nearly there! (C section booked for next week) Then our new challenge begins - trying so hard to be hopeful! 🤞🙏💙
Just a little update from me for anyone still following our (very long) journey so far! We have been TTC for 8 years now. 6 fresh cycles, 7 transfers & multiple losses later and we are finally booked to have a c section next week. I cannot quite believe it. It is a time of total mixed emotions right

Buzzing!!
OMG OMG! I've just completed W5R2 - two 8 min runs. I am absolutely buzzing!! This time last year, I was still recovering from a double heart bypass after having had a completely unexpected heart attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it! I did have a small emotional moment

Edoxaban causing breathlessness?
Does anyone else get this issue? I was put on this medication in August. Came off Apixaban for same issue. I get it late morning then teatime. It is getting less severe as I recover from a long series of chest infections. I have been diagnosed as having ‘flutter’ which can bring on AF. I await an ablation

The link between bradycardia and hypothyroidism
I had a successful Cardioversion via my previous surgery/private cardiologist some months ago but have been struggling in the last couple of months with bradycardia (bpm low 50’s ) ache across chest and episodes of falling asleep when I don’t feel especially tired (could this be syncope?) Im aware

Oh My God 😯 Three dazed and confused Cardiologists.
Some not so junior heart specialists just admitted they don't know what to do with me. An angiogram showed a narrowing of the Lateral Anterior Descending coronary artery that's near two smaller branches. I've unsucessfully tried three vasodialating medications but can't tolerate them due to constant

General Anaesthetics for Pulmonary-Hypertension patients
Hi there. I'm new to this community. I've just been referred to a Pulmonary-Hypertension consultant by my Cardiologist as my latest Echocardiogram says I have "intermediate probability of pulmonary hypertension", along with "moderate mitral valve regurgitation". My question relates to General Anaesthetics
