Complications of Operations with AFIB
Just read a report stating Patients with preexisting atrial fibrillation (AF) have a 31% increased risk of death within 30 days after noncardiac surgery compared with matched patients without AF. I guess my hip operation being cancelled would have been easier to accept if this had been explained

24 hour monitor
My paroxysmal AF was not picked up on a 24 hour monitor. I was checked a couple of times over a 5 year timespan and told that I just had lots of ectopics. Finally, when it became more severe the GP eventually relented and booked me in for a seven day monitor whcich picked up the atrial fibrillation

Severe Pneumonia Tracheostomy
Hello, Everyone: I have posted here about my 77 year old dad who has been in ICU for severe pneumonia before. He was intubated for 3 weeks and 2 days and now he has had trachy for 1 week (total of 4 weeks of ventilator so far). At the moment, the oxygen is at 35%, PEEP is at 7.0, saturation is at 93

Tall tales
New Scientist, 11th November edition (p18) has an interesting article. Researchers at Uni of Bristol examined records of 454,000 adults and found that "... taller people have a greater risk of having irregular heart rate." Further, that those "... taller than average at age 10 were more likely as an

bisoprolol reduction
Thank you everyone for your replies. After my visit to A and E on Sunday the doctor told me to take an additional 1.25mg of bisoprolol for 3 days so now taking 2.50mg per day. I think I was a little naive but trusted the hospital to reduce to 1.25 after my cardioversion he said my heart rate was

Paroxysmal and permanent Afib
Does anybody know when paroxysmal Afib becomes permanent? I was diagnosed with paroxysmal Afib towards the end of 2022, after I had been fitted with a Linq loop recorder. I was only ever having short episodes lasting up to 8 hours, then on 13th October just gone I started with an episode which is still

Covid vax and AFIB
just as an FYI, I had a Covid vaccination (Pfizer) a couple of days ago and I developed AFIB within a few hours. It did resolve itself overnight after I took extra metoprolol.

Stopping Sotolol after ablation - fast HR and breathless
Hello, I am an ablation for Paroxysmal AFib and Flutter on 11th July. All went well. As well as AFib I used to get long periods ( a week or more) of other arrhythmia -PACs, SVTs, PVCs. They told me the ablation might not help stop these. During the 3 month blanking period, had some days of chest

tetanus booster and Covid vaccine
Hello I had a tetanus booster yesterday and I asked my GP if it was ok to get Covid vaccine next Thursday. He said he didn’t know and to check with primary care. When I saw the nurse she said it’s fine as both are inactivated. Does anyone know about this ? I tried finding out but haven’t managed to

Interesting to know...
If you had the idea that AF is reserved for us, humans, you were wrong. It is kinda catching, lol, so our pets can also have AF problems. Here a passage from an article, talking about AF in cats and dogs and the interdependence of heart size and the probability to have AF (allegedly, larger hearts (sportsmen

What’s an acceptable rate?
so I’m back in afib, doctor sent me home with 2.5mg of bisoprolol and also blood thinners. At moment my heart rate when not doing a lot (sitting down watching tv) is around 90-100bpm. Sometimes In the 70s and 80s and even lower 60s and possible 50s when asleep! So basically I’d say my base rate is

Cardioversion/Ep study
I recently had an Ep study to determine whether I had SVT or Afib., even though I had been diagnosed in 2021 with Paroxysmal Afib. The cardiologist said it was a long shot but if it was SVT he would ablate it. Unfortunately throughout the procedure my heart went into Afib and they had to cardiovert

a flutter ablation versus a fib ablation
I’m a 70-year-old male that’s had four ablations all unsuccessful. Three years ago I had a pacemaker being my pulse rate, went down to 25. I’ve tried Tyson and that worked get me back in rhythm but I had to go off because my QT number was very long and they were concerned about sudden death. They put

Propafenone Back!!!
JimF here in the U.S. A while back I posted regarding the critical shortages of Propafenone, which then bled over to shortages of Flecainide and Tikosyn.......which may continue until February. I'm happy to say that my 90 day supply of propafenone has just been refilled by my pharmacy, a truly "thank

Advice regarding setting of expectations ahead of cardiology appointment would be appreciated.
AF since March 23. Currently only really experiencing breathlessness on inclines. No experience of HR over 100 (as far as I know). Devices confirm persistent AF since March. Echo revealed a few mild heart failure issues and recommended cardiology review, which is due in a couple of weeks. My question
