Feeling really down
I am week 7 post my first cryoablation for paroxysmal AFib. For the first week or so I had NSR fluctuations with mild AFib. Since 6th September I have been in constant AFib with HR ranging from 80-120bpm. I have tried and failed to get any real advice from AFib nurses and the EP who did my procedure

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

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

Lu-177 as SOC vs Clinical Trial
Many thanks to all contributors! Since I've now just had my 16th cabazitazel/carboplatin chemo treatment, we're looking at options and working on Lu-177. I'm curious that, since Lu-177 is now FDA approved and is Standard Of Care, is there an advantage to seeking a clinical trial vs receiving it as

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

New drug for treating hot flashes under FDA review
This article appeared in Natl Geographic's online daily. Because it is behind a paywall, I have copied it below. While the drug is primarily intended for menopausal women, the article notes that future beneficiaries could include men taking drugs for prostate cancer. Is it possible to cure hot

Chemo/Pluvicto or Clinical Trial?
I have stage 4, mcrpc with mets to pelvic lymph nodes and prostate. ADT (Firmagon and Zytiga) kept PSA undetectable for ~2.5 years, then PSA started to rise. I had radiation to prostate in March of this year, which did not help. I started a clinical trial in October at NYU (LAVA 1207 immunotherapy)

An exciting new clinical trial called STEM-PD is due to start in Sweden and the UK for Parkinson’s.
The symptoms of Parkinson’s are caused by the loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells or neurons in the brain; and researchers have long proposed using cell transplantation as a treatment option for replacing these lost dopamine cells. One challenge presented to research teams however has been generating

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.

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?
