Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
CV 24/2 failed after 1 week. Heart function team suggest course of amiodarone combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do. Either proceed with the above ( with a list of potential side effects which are impossible

Amiodarone
I was admitted to hospital last week with extreme AF (between 28 and 270 bpm) After a couple of days of unsuccessful drug therapy, I was given a cardioversion (my second) and went back into NSR immediately. I've been given a new to me drug called Amiodarone, which seems to have a lot of potential side

Treadmill test
As an aid to diagnosing persistent chest pains - the consultant thinks they are non-cardiac but wants to investigate a bit more-I’m to be given a treadmill test in a few weeks. I asked for this instead of the more rigourous but not very pleasant “stress test”. The heart rate will be raised to 100 during

Arrhythmias
Hi Everyone,I have Afib, 1st episode in December 2022 resolved by cardioversion followed by 2 episodes in July 2023, lasting 24 and 12 hours respectively. I am currently on 1.25 bisoporal daily. Over recent nights I have been getting arrhythmias which my scan watch and omron devices don't classify as

cardioversion and Flecainide
An update - I had my cardioversion privately a week ago - all good, so far….. I feel so much better. HR now around 55-60 instead of 90-100 ( on high dose drugs) I was immediately taken off Digoxin and told to continue the BB Nebivolol 10mg a day. Then started on Flecainide 100mg daily, with the BB.

Why has my husband been given Candesartan when he hasn’t got high blood pressure . It must be for his stage 2 heart failure I presume .
My husband has been given this drug along with digoxin to add to his other meds , bisoprol , antorvaststin , Lansoprazole, edoxoban and dapagliflozin. He ll be rattling soon . He has been relatively stable . The ecg showed heart rate of 100 so I presume the cardiologist wants to lower it further . Is

Post Cardioversion
Well, after 3 years in Afib and a failed ablation I had a cardioversion just over a week ago, and I am pleased to say I am in Normal Sinus Rhythm ( well, fingers crossed )!..Just a point. I was a runner before getting Afib, so my pulse was always low ( High 40's, 50 )... Before cardioversion my resting

metoprolol 25 mg and low heat rate
hi, in a situation where there is a low heart rate between 55 to 60 bpm when in afib, does it make sense to take metaprolol drug, designed to reduce the ventricular heart rate, amongst other things? my allopathic md prescribed this and i cannot help but feel a bit uncomfortable. i don't wish the heart

blinding period success!
This week I will hit the 3 month blinding period date! I remain in Normal sinus rhythm and will be able to discontinue my Eliquis! However 3 nights ago I began to have PAC’s. Today I recorded them pretty consistently 3-6 per minute. So bummed as I haven’t really even been aware of my heart beat in last

Prednisolone and blood thinners
As well as having PMR I also have Atrial Fibrillation. I am currently on 6mg of prednisolone.My GP is reluctant to prescribe a DOAC blood thinner for the Afib, because he says there is a risk of gastric bleeding.I am friendly with two retired GP's who are both of the opinion that this shouldn't be an

Ablation to back wall of the heart
They also went ahead and ablated a common area for
atrial
flutter
although that was not the problem. Has anyone had the back wall of the heart ablated ? What success for you? Did you have persistent afib? Thank you for any info.

new to AFib
Hi, Last week I spent the night in hospital with AFib. I came home with 2 sorts of medication (beta blockers and blood thinners). It was a very scary process as I have always been healthy, despite my age , 67, and my weight, 17 stone plus. As soon as I came home I knew I needed to lose weight to help
