Anticoagulant switching
There have been a few post recently about pressure to switch from apixaban to other anticoagulants. I’ve been on apixaban for a number of years now and so far not been asked to change. However my 92 year old father in law, who has chronic kidney problems, has just been given edoxaban instead of his

As you lovely people were so kind reassuring and helpful during my recent meltdown, I thought I’d let you know what happened today. I had an echo and then an ecg after which I was seen by a very nice cardiologist for results. The high BNP is due to persistent AF, my heart remarkably in good shape with

RLS newbie
Hi all, I was hoping you could give me some advice about where to begin, as I'm finding reading through the posts, although very helpful, also overwhelming! I have self diagnosed as having RLS for about 20 years. It has been relatively ignorable until the last few years. Now it is affecting my sleep

Atrial Flutter and AFib
Hello, Briefly I've had multiple Aortic/Mitral valve surgeries, with the second in 2013 I acquired Complete Heart Block, Permanent AF, Shunt, and my Pacemaker. I'm probably lucky that I've been reasonably stable over the years, other than every now and again having the PM settings altered. On Warfarin

Awaiting diagnosis of Heart Failure
My husband had a Mitral and Tricuspid Valve repair in June 2020, however his AF could not be treated as it had been happening for too long (they discovered the valve problems because AF was found on an ECG some 18 months prior to the operation). He has been struggling with his breathing for some months

angiogram
Has anyone had to stop their apixaban for an angiogram. I understand because of bleeding, but when I went to have my pre op assessment the nurse didn’t know. She "thought" I had to stop the apixaban for 2 days prior and take aspirin 75 instead. I have tried to get on to the hospital, but always answerphone

Diagnosing Heart Failure?
I am looking for some advice from others who have been in a similar situation or know more about blood tests and heart failure please. My husband had a Mitral and Tricuspid valve repair 2 years ago but nothing could be done regarding his AF. Since COVID he’s been pretty much left to get on with things
