NIDDUK quote - link between diabetes type 2 and stroke
People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease at a younger age than people without diabetes. In adults with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart disease and stroke. Adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes.2.

Ablation No 4
I had my 4th ablation on Friday at the Royal Brompton and have ended up with a pacemaker due to Sick Sinus Syndrome. Apart from the usual tiredness and bruising I feel fine. Have noticed a few ectopic beats but after being in AF since mid July it's nice to see NORMAL on my Kardia. All the best Tim

Has anyone had ACDF/Discectomy & Spinal Fusion Surgery?
Has anyone had this surgery? I’m a potential candidate for this is have large herniated discs in C5-6 & C7-8. My Neurosurgeon said that first option would be a nerve block of pain wasn’t improving (it isn’t) but I feel this would only help pain and wouldn’t sort out the problem itself. I’m a 30 year

i'm very lightheaded most of the time. Could it be apixaban? Or is it normal for Parkinsons? my GP says try Dabigatran.
ive been on Apixaban (5 mg x 2 daily) since 2016 for Afb after my stroke and subsequent major heart surgery - fine, my bloods are very healthy. I'm fighting PD with exercise, food and meditation etc. I have good days, bad days but the light headedness is around most of the time. I am 78 and weigh 50kilos

10 months post ablation
For the last 2 months I've been in constant touch with arrhythmia nurses as I've been having symptoms of what seemed like AF again together with lots of ectopics. They have been very thorough, had me in to hospital and attached to ecg for 25 minutes but heart mostly behaved! As symptoms continued they

Take meds on an empty stomach, or take with food, or ?
I've spoken with many pharmacists and my electrophysiologist as well, and I'm puzzled because they say the same or different things! If anyone can ring in on what *might* work best, I'd appreciate it. I take the metoprolol extended release once a day in the morning. I take the flecainide twice a day

Covid, pacemaker and prosthetic mitral valve
I hope this will help to reassure many. I have a pacemaker with av node ablation, prosthetic mitral valve and continuing, although not felt, af. Medication is warfarin alone. Christmas has been spent in South Africa with my family, on Boxing Day, 5 of us, including myself tested positive for Covid

Supporting a family member
Hello, My first go at this. I've joined to see how families support someone with HF? Just before xmas, Dad had a Stemi and 2 stents fitted immediately although now has heart failure. He's getting better but I'm a nervous wreck all of the time. I've just got over 6 years of mam having heart attacks and

Pacemaker
Just had a pacemaker done today . Due to bradacardia. There were issues with getting it done due to finding vain at collar bone .and then lead would not go by the valve. Used 3 diferent ones. Eventually it worked. Also very painful due to getting pacemaker inserted into position. Took 1 & half hours

Pain in stomach after running
I could google it but I’d probably read that I’d need a triple heart bypass or something... the last two times I’ve been running, after an hour or two, I seem to get a pain in my stomach on the left hand side, which lasts into the night. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced similar or if anyone

Higher BP andHR
I’m 70 and I had open heart surgery to remove a Myxoma in my left atrium at the beginning of October 2020. (I have put details earlier of the experience) I have monitored my blood pressure and heart rate since leaving hospital 3 months ago and both have gradually increased from about 120/75 to 140/90
