Pace and Ablate for Persistent A fib - Your Experiences?
Hi Whilst in hospital over Christmas, it was decided upon a pace and ablate for my a fib which is now persistent and has given me cardiac decompensation. However, there was a U turn and the consultants decided to try me on further drugs and give them a bit of time first. I was discharged on 10 mg bisoprolol

Catheter Ablation
So my amazing AF journey continues, today was released from hospital and was told i can have a
catheter
ablation
although the waiting list is a few mths. Start anticoagulants tomorrow. Apparently my meds have basically lasted their course so ablation it is.

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

Hi I am new to this forum. I have had SVT for two years which has been very bothersome this year. I had a cardiac ablation and they managed to treat two areas. Today is day four and yesterday I felt pretty well and went to the shops.... today I feel totally drained and tearful and I’m wondering when

I’m feeling so much better , only on apixiban now , I have been building my walking up to 6 or 7 miles a day with no problems , the scar is still very tender

After 2 radiofrequency cardiac ablations, still have atrial fibrillation Afib
Hi all, it would be great and grateful if u could share your experience to me. This is my case. I'm a 47 yrs old guy with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (irregular and fast heat beat), which is found in early 2018. It is caused by my thyroid problem and it's cured already. But Afib is not leaving. After

Migraine after catheter ablation
I had my ablation two weeks ago. I was ill the next morning, didn't feel like eating normally for four days and had an attack of migraine every single day for eleven days, some were worse than others. I thought it was just me and I ended up in A&E on the fifth day. I was given Sumatriptan tablets.

I am pacemaker dependant having had an av node ablation. Having given up all alcohol, which I used to really enjoy I have very infrequent episodes of AF. I have replaced my Gin and Tonic with a non alcoholic spirit and sugar free tonic. However, I have just heard that I should not be having tonic

Vagus nerve damage
Hello, I had a cardiac ablation for svt in January of 2020 and unfortunately havent been the same since. I've had acid reflux like symptoms that were extensively tested and found to be hypersensitive esophagus nerves. I've also had other symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath

Ablation Date
Just thought I'd write to voice my admiration for the NHS. I've just been given a date for my second Cardiac Ablation - 17th November 2020. The first procedure made me symptom free for almost 5 years before I started getting arrhythmia again - so in my case, it clearly works well. I was told the waiting

Wolf Parkinson White - should I have an ablation?
However, I was recommended to have an EP investigation and then if deemed necessary a
catheter
ablation
at the same time. On balance this was stated by the consultant as less risky (a 1% chance of serious complications with the ablation).

Awaiting contact from Cardiologist- may need
catheter
ablation

Slight Irregular heartbeat
After av node ablation and pacemaker, I still have a slightly irregular heart beat at times. Does that mean my ventricles are still working a little on their own? It may be PVC's.

Heart failure?
I thought the standard procedure for diagnosing heart failure was the BNP blood test. My understanding after reading the NICE guidelines, is that you can have heart failure with a perfectly ok ejection fraction. If that is the case then surely the BNP test is a crucial part of the jigsaw. Why is heart

Why do some people develop HF after av node ablation and pacemaker and some don't. They say about 40% do.
Hi, I am new. I had an av node ablation and pacemaker two months ago and feel really good. I was not informed of the possibility of developing AF at the time or about the biventricular pacemaker which I did not get. What determines why some people get it and some do not. How does the EP determine
