Atrial clip
Anyone had an atrial clip fitted or know anything about them. I have recently had open heart surgery for leaky valve and surgeon's assistant told me afterwards we have also done an atrial clip as you have had AF in the past. From what I can see on the Internet it prevents you ever having a stroke from

So Worried - update
We’ll, he’s still in hospital; they’ve tried various drugs unsuccessfully to bring the HR down. They’re planning a cardioversion today - bit anxious about it because he missed a dose of apixaban on Tuesday in all the kerfuffle of going into hospital! 🤞🤞it all goes ok and does the trick!

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

Hi I’m new, does anyone suffer from really low heart rate when not in AF?
I have been having AF off and on for the last three years. Over this last year it has increased in frequency. I am having it at least once a week, it usually lasts between 2 to 4 hours.I usually auto convert on my own, thank god.I have an iwatch which has been really helpful in keeping tabs on my EKG

Flec only
Hi Motov. I take flec daily and use it as a PIP when I get an AF episode. When originally diagnosed in 2015 I was given bisoprolo as well but could not tolerate this as it brought me to a complete standstill, my GP took me off it. Taking apixaban of course. My AF episodes settled into a pattern after

Atrial tachycardia
I was initially diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. However, when I went for an ablation and was seen by the EP he decided it wasn’t AF but atrial tachycardia. Apparently symptom are almost adenoidal and I’m on similar meds to all those with AF My problem is, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else here

Strange reactions to surgery.
I had heart surgery about 15 months ago and have had to deal with a lot of complications. A stroke being the main one. A couple of the smaller issues got buried, but I was wondering if anyone identified. I jump out of my skin at sudden noises such as the phone ringing. I also well up at emotional moments

The French Paradox - Why the French Have the Lowest Incidence of Heart Disease in the Developed World
Wine should be consumed in moderation. I drink one glass of red wine with my dinner, between 1 and 3 times per week.
