AF video

[Gwersey]

I've watched a short video from the University of Birmingham but don't know how to share link. It's about Atrial Fibrillation. If anyone manages to find it and watches it, I'd be interested in their comments. It's scary stuff!!

(It's on Facebook)

Is that it ?

[Gwersey in reply to bantam12]

Yes that's it. Read the text under the video.

[bantam12 in reply to Gwersey]

Scary stuff indeed, should be compulsory watching for Cardiologists then maybe patients would be taken seriously !

Just watched I had a stroke 9 years ago whilst having svt episode

[Gwersey in reply to Supernerogirl]

Are you ok now? What meds do you take?

[Supernerogirl in reply to Gwersey]

I’m fine thanks was they said a minor stroke lost left side 24 hrs but speech was weird for a few months and memory bad. I refused beta blockers until recently but take 75 mg aspirin daily and the drs refuse to say the svt causes the stroke. But my heart rate was at 200 they said that could have been because I was having a stroke so I’ll never know. But I’m ok now just memory issues.

I watched it after your recommendation Gwersey. Yes, it certainly hits home! I read all the text that went with the video too!!

[Gwersey in reply to jeanjeannie50]

I wonder will Bob read it. I know he gets impatient with scaremongering. The statistics in the video contradict a lot of what is said about Afib eg. it won't kill you etc.

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to Gwersey]

I somehow don't think he will read it and may poo, poo it if he did anyway. I think as long as we don't try to carry on and do something that requires exertion when our body is telling us to stop (either by fast heart rate, feeling ill, or tiredness), then we are fairly safe from sudden death. When cutting the grass at my home, I have to do a bit and stop to rest for as many times as I think is needed.

That's a good video, very interesting about the BNP being a marker, my BNP is raised but Cardio dismissed it as not important !!

If you click on YouTube at the bottom of the video it gives you underneath access to the website the lady talks about

birmingham.ac.uk/research/h... When on the website go to the bottom of the page and you can download the MyAF on to your mobile phone. I did it; it contains lots of information which I haven't looked at it all yet but I think will be very informative and perhaps useful.

I had a quick look at the app on my iPad, looks good.
