Chest pain/pressure 3 weeks post-ablation
I (M, 33) had cardiac ablation for ventricular tachycardia. After the procedure, I felt weak but no real pain other than a little around my insertion points in my femoral arteries. 2 weeks after the procedure, I went on a 4-mile walk (which was too long), and that evening my heart started racing to

Percentage of heart
Hi my dad went in for a heart check up and unfortunately had a
cardiac
arrest
when there. They said he only had 6% of his heart working. Would he of been still here if doctor had given him water tablets 2 weeks prior when his ankles were swollen. Not blaming anyone just wish I had done more 😢

Speech problems after cardiac event?
Hi all, had a
cardiac
arrest
just before Christmas. Had an ICD fitted and been started on a range of meds which have (thus far) made a massive difference to how I feel. However, one issue I have been struggling with since my event is my speech.

Exercise after cardiac ablation
Hello! I'm 7 days post ablation for atrial flutter. Feel good mostly, a little breathless occasionally. Pre ablation I was doing 30 mins yoga and walking 3 miles + most days. I'm really looking for advice on getting back to walking and yoga. I've tried a couple of walks, but I'm tiring very fast. Thank

Week1 - Run 1
Hi, I am new to the whole process and decided to start after the unexpected death of my best friend due to a
cardiac
arrest
. So this C25K and hopefully further is for him. Well, I could have picked a better day to start as yesterday it was cold, wet and windy.

Ublituximab plus ibrutinib versus ibrutinib alone for patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (GENUINE)
Five patients in the ibrutinib group died due to adverse events, including one
cardiac
arrest
, one cerebral infarction, one intracranial haemorrhage, one Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia infection, and one unexplained death; the death due to
cardiac
arrest
was considered to be treatment-related.

Teeth issues
They had to take me off it anyway because of the
cardiac
arrest
episode I had but the dentist has suggested there could be a link with the treatment I've had as they'd only ever seen me for check ups before. Regards John

Blood clot in left lung following Covid and 50 days in ICU and on ventilator. What are treatment options and any similar experiences?
Ressucitation team called due to concerns re possible
cardiac
arrest
. Luckily this did not happen and sister was stabilised and bleed stopped before she was returned to ward. Few hours later another CT scan performed to look more closely at lungs and blod clot found in left lung.

Sotalol Started at Home
I'm scared to death she will go in
cardiac
arrest
. She also had no labs drawn prior to starting. Has anyone else started this drug at home?

Progress
Hi all, An update following my partners
cardiac
arrest
in December-he’s nearly halfway through his 3 month stay in neuro rehab and is now on a level 6 diet. I brought in foods on Friday and it was the first time he was able to feed himself, taking crisps and putting them in his mouth.

Cardiac Arrest leading to induced coma. Eyes open but no response and moves head lots.
My father is 63 and had a
cardiac
arrest
on the 21/01/21. It took several moments to revive him and get a heart beat. He was taken to hospital and was said to be able to follow verbal command in morning. He was able to breath for 45minutes but struggled thereafter and was put into an induced coma.
