Exiting A Forum
Howdy all. Hope you're all tickety boo. Just a quicky. I joined the BHF forum recently to see if I could get help, support and info from there about the mitral valve stuff but Ive been shocked at seeing some of the venomous responses some peeps have had to, what I consider, legitimate questions.

Chloresterol drug, clinical trial.
I have been contacted by my GP asking if I would like to participate in a trial of a drug to lower chloresterol. My history is that I had high chloresterol 25 years ago which resulted in blocked arteries and necessitated a heart bypass surgery. I also had a mild heart attack 6 years ago but no reason

Taking Bisoprolol in between pacemaker and AV node ablation
I had my pacemaker fitted on the 10th March and am still having episodes of AF and also more frequent episodes of tachycardia which I didn't have before. I have just spoken with my consultant who said it will be another one or two months before I have the AV node ablation. In the meantime he is prescribing

8 MONTH waiting times…
I saw a pain clinic consultant two months ago and he referred me for nerve block injections in my abdominal wall and groin… after speaking with pain management yesterday, they advised me to follow up on the appointment as I haven’t had anything yet. I’ve just been advised that the MINIMUM waiting time

Echocardiogram result
I've just had the result of my echocardiogram. It doesn't sound too bad: the valves are ok, apart from some mitral valve regurgitation which was described as "insignificant". The aorta is ok. The ejection fraction is down from last time (2 years ago) but is described as low-normal at 50-55%. The fly

poisoned by statins
I have now come to the conclusion that instead of getting the correct treatment for my heart problem I have been given a higher dosage of statins that is causing me more harm. I believe that my diagnosis should be treated with a stent or a bypass. I have three siblings , two have had heart attacks and

Best treatment for sudden ectopics?
Hello, fellow AF/ectopics sojourners! I'm in Kentucky, new to HealthUnlocked. Had occasional vagally-mediated AF episodes for 10 yrs, but since covid started 2 yrs ago, I think stress/anxiety upped my episodes to weekly, and recently, every 3 days. I just started daily 12.5 mg metoprolol (2 days

Minimally invasive Surgical Ablation carried out in UK, preparing for surgery
Surgical ablation is not used much here in the UK unless open heart surgery is being carried out anyway. In other countries - the Netherlands, US and Japan it is a first line treatment for persistent afib (and actually some paroxysmal too) and carried out by keyhole/minimally invasively. I am 5 plus

Heart Failure Question
Hello I am looking for some perspective I think. My husband was not treated for his AF and high heart rate for four weeks until I managed to get him to ignore the GP and go to A& E, He was diagnosed with heart failure (35%) and is now on 8 different drugs. He had a follow up procedure booked (cardioversion

Underlying heart condition (coarctation of aorta) with AF

Pacemaker fitted?
Hi As someone with PAF, plus "secondary degree heart block and short sinus pauses" but fortunately with virtually no symptoms I am taking Apixaban and my cardiologist may well advise me to have a pacemaker fitted following a current seven day patch result in a few days time. So any advice/thoughts

Stem Cell Therapy for Cardiomyopathy
My husband has cardiomyopathy with a fib, has ICD and now his EP cardiologist suggesting AV node ablation. But we just found out about stem cell therapy for Cardiomyopathy. Has any one heard about that, has any experience on this subject ?

Hello from a Newbie
I’ve had palpitations for years, however, the GP has never been able to trap them, in November I went for a routine ECG and was informed I was in AF, at long last it was trapped, I was so relieved as I was starting to think it was all imagined. I was sent to Ambulatory Care, another ECG, not in AF again
