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

Hi all, please can some of you list the life style changes that can be recommended to some one newly diagnosed with Afibb?
I have a friend who is awaiting diagnosis of Afibb, also has huge burden of ectopic beats and tachycardia when in sinus mode. I have seen on here listed sometimes, the life style recommendations that can be made whilst awaiting cardiology appointment but have been unable to find them. Also can not remember

Could anyone share with me their experience of the process, experience and effectiveness of the Implanted Loop Recorder?
Hi Friends, I am having a loop recorder implanted on Friday at Barts. I was feeling quite positive about the idea but as the day gets nearer find myself getting myself getting nervous about it. My main anxiety is that in some way way in will cause to me have another A-fib episode, which I haven

CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for B-ALL achieved remarkable efficacy with a complete remission of 70–90%
This looks interesting but way over my knowledge base. Perhaps some of you super brains can figure this out. In recent years, the increasing advancements and applications of cellular immunotherapy have enabled the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, and it has emerged as an efficacious

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
Hi I wonder if there is a link here? I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation/Atrial Flutter (don't think they know) about 2 years ago. I also have an underlying heart condition where the aorta was narrowed (coarctation), and corrected via open heart surgery when I was 11 (I'm now 63). However heart

Post ablation arrhythmia
I am almost 4 months post ablation for atrial fibrillation. Whilst jogging after my daughter, who was on her scooter, I had an odd heart episode. It may have been AF, but it felt like it could also have been ectopics combined with sinus rhythm - my heart was already beating quite fast, which made it

Anyone else tried it!
Had an appointment with Arrythmia nurse today. In AF when I arrived and picked up on ecg twice. My episodes are getting closer together and Flecainide at 100 x2 is no longer holding them. I am wondering if slowly weaning myself off it and going permanent will be a better bet. All thoughts gratefully

Sliding into persistent Afib
Hello I am on Flecaine 200 ( slow release) and 3.75 Bisoprolol. I usually get episodes 1 or 2 times a month the longest lasting between 5 an7 hours which self resolve. However last Saturday/Sunday night at 2 in the morning I popped into Afib. This lasted until in 1 pm the next day. I was a bit wiped

Well, It's always something new and fun
Hey All.... Well, I have PAF and had a echocardiogram the first time in some years (new cardiologist, etc). So...discovered I have mitral valve leakage (regurgitatuon). It's moderate at this point with a EF of 60%. Hope that some others may have experience with this "combo". What has your journey

Ectopic beats are a pain.

Does Heart Bypass Cock Up Heart Rate Monitors?
I have always had a HRM on my bike which senses heart rate from my chest band. However, since my bypass there is no signal being received. Is this a thing after heart surgery?!
