AV NODE
Am having a AV Node ablation +CRT - P proceedure this coming Thursday, hopefully should sort out the paraxsymol AF that I have put up with for the past 11years. Two ablations plus 3 Cardioversions did not sort me out!! Anyone else experienced this proceedure?

Six monthly review - Success(?)
I was diagnosed with Persistent AF in April 2016; prior to this I had been a very fit club cyclist. My treatment was Bisoprolol and Rivaroxaban with a cardioversion in October 2016 which kept me in NSR for just two weeks. After this I was accepted onto a clinical trial at Sheffield. This involved a

I am due to have an AV Node Ablation in 3 weeks time. My Pacemaker was fitted with 2 wires because they

Anyone been to Bordeaux for an Ablation?
I'm hoping to go to Bordeaux for a Catheter Ablation next month. Has anyone been there an if so could they tell me:_ 1) How long before the Ablation did you have the Transoesophageal Echocardiogram done and how sore was your throat afterwards? 2) How did you get from the airport there to your accommodation

Overactive bladder and Afib
I had a catheter ablation in February 2015, which has been very successful. However I have recently suffered with an overactive bladder, so purchased an Innovo pelvic floor exerciser. After three weeks of use I experianced an Afib attack, my heart has been a little jumpy since. Just wondered if anyone

Hi everyone Does anyone have experience of

treatment, particularly after
cardiac
arrests? I had a cardiac arrest out of the blue on 3 April (I'm 29 and was healthy). 3 week stay in hospital included loads of tests.

Pacemaker
Well just had a 3 week stay in the Glenfield Heart Hospital. Finally had a pacemaker. It should have had 4 leads but they only managed 3. I know have to Waite 6 weeks for an AV Node Ablation. I read somewhere that you have to notify DVLA if you drive and your insurance company. And they’re normally

Possible Pacemaker and Av node ablation
Hi all, I thought Id maybe give you a wee update. Saw my EP as an urgent review following my 3rd ablation 5 weeks ago. Since that last ablation I had extreme chest pain, breathlessness and extreme tachycardia leading to multiple collapses. Thankful the pain has eased but the rest of symptoms Im still

Pace and Ablate
Well I had hoped that it would have been all done and dusted by now - but NO! The insurance company is driving both my EP, his secretary and myself round the pole and I rather suspect they will deny the bi-ventricular device. But they have OK’d the AV node ablation - which of course I can’t have -

Pacemaker and AV node ablation
I have been meaning for a while to write this post in the hope that it will help those going through the dilemma of whether to take the decision to go through, what is termed, as a final option. The run-up before taking that decision is daunting. I have had three ablations and exhausted all the different

Pacemaker and Fast Heartbeat
Had pacemaker fitted 18 months ago. Heart settled on a steady 70 bpm for 9 months and then went to around 115 bpm overnight and back into AF. It has stayed this way ever since. I am due for a pre med in 3 weeks time for an AV Node Ablation. I assume that the pacemaker will then go from doing almost nothing

Endometrial ablation??
What happens when you ‘get your period’ after this procedure? I understand some people bleed less or not at all but do you still get period pains etc. or does the uterus not cramp etc. because there’s less/nothing to expel?

Hybrid Ablation - second time lucky
I was all prepared for the first part of my Hybrid Ablation, and under general anaesthetic when it was discovered that I had a clot inside my heart. The operation was aborted due to significantly increased risks, and a couple of days later I was sent home to recover. Four weeks later, after going in
