Convergent ablation procedure
hello all, I have had persistent AF for about a year after a few years of PAF (initially diagnosed as panic attacks). I was on BISOPROLOL 3.25 and Apixaban 2x day. I had a successful CV in February this year and have reduced my BISO to .625. I do not tolerate the drugs well including the anticoagulant

Back in AF.
I had a successful ablation two years ago in May 2021.A couple of days ago I felt a bit weak and instinctively checked my pulse to find that it was erratic. I lay down on the bed and after 10 minutes or so it reverted back to Sinus Rhythm.The same thing happened on the following day. Before my ablation

Bisoprolol
HiOn 1.25mg bisoprolol for heart failure also have LVSD, AFib and had AV node ablation and pacemaker. My pacemaker is set 70bpm hr so doesn't really go any higher than this and I believe the purpose of bisoprolol is to lower heart rate, so the question is why do I need bisoprolol when my heart rate is

Pre Syncope/Right Bundle Branch Block
PAF for a number of years now, fairly well controlled with medication of Flecainide, Apixaban, Bisoprolol. The last 3 months episodes of AF have increased. But worryingly for the first time I've had 3 episodes of Pre syncope a couple of second period where I think I'm going to pass out. After effects

Good news story
Hi, I’ve been meaning to post this update for weeks but have been too well and busy! A shortish resume: Diagnosed 2018, paroxysmal AF treated with Bisopralol and Flecainide. Very symptomatic and intolerant of drugs. Feelings of passing out during episodes resulted in PM being fitted 2019. Episodes

AF & AV node ablation confusion
Hi,So I have had pace n ablate, pacemaker dependent also have HF. Does anyone know if you can still be in AF after AV node ablation and pacemaker dependent? I was informed by a doctor after a recent visit to A&E that due to AV node ablation and being dependent on a pacemaker that AF shouldn't occur

Metoprolol
I had an ablation a few weeks ago, I'm doing ok, except for the fatigue, shortness of breath and cough. I am in sinus. I believe the above issues are related to Metoprolol I take 25mg x 2 daily, Flecainaide 50mg 2 daily and 5mg Eliquis 2 daily. I have my follow up appt next week with my EP. I'm really

Advice/Help
Hi all, I'm just looking for some advice please? I'm due to go in for a Laparoscopy next week, I've had heart surgery in the past but, I'm really nervous about this surgery due to complications in the previous surgeries. So I'm just trying to calm my nerves by being as prepared as much as possible.

Medical bracelet / necklace?
I'm likely to need warfarin for life after my upcoming heart surgery. I'm wondering if I should wear a medical bracelet or necklace once I start taking warfarin, so paramedics know I'm on a blood thinner if I'm ever in an accident. Do others wear such things? If so, how obvious does it need to be?

Today marks the first anniversary of my triple heart bypass. So grateful for the treatment I received and the support I have received from family and friends. My body has recovered really well and apart from a little discomfort when coughing or sneezing looking forward to the future. Feeling emotional

Unconfirmed ECG
To be clear, I'm also involved with the doctors on this! I had an ECG due to occasional palpitations and ectopic beats, which came back as 'normal sinus rhythm, possible septal infarct, QS in V1 V2, low QRS in voltage in precordial leads', unconfirmed interpretation. I made the mistake of Googling

Open heart surgery for ASD CLOSE
To everyone who has given me advice, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the guidance and support you’ve offered since my open-heart surgery in April 2014 for ASD closure. Your insights and encouragement mean a lot to me, especially as I navigate the challenges I've faced
