AMIODARONE SCARE
Hello everyone; If anyone recalls, about a little over a month ago I was told I had minimal lung fibrosis as an x-ray revealed it that was related to amiodarone. Well after a ct-scan looking specifically for fibrosis I am ecstatic to say the findings came back NEGATIVE, none whatsoever. During that time

Obesity, diabetes, hypertension among conditions raising a cardiovascular risk
by Marisa Wexler, MS | November 6, 2023 Depression and anxiety are more likely in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who also are at a greater risk of heart disease, like those with obesity or high blood

What’s an acceptable rate?
so I’m back in afib, doctor sent me home with 2.5mg of bisoprolol and also blood thinners. At moment my heart rate when not doing a lot (sitting down watching tv) is around 90-100bpm. Sometimes In the 70s and 80s and even lower 60s and possible 50s when asleep! So basically I’d say my base rate is

Cardioversion/Ep study
I recently had an Ep study to determine whether I had SVT or Afib., even though I had been diagnosed in 2021 with Paroxysmal Afib. The cardiologist said it was a long shot but if it was SVT he would ablate it. Unfortunately throughout the procedure my heart went into Afib and they had to cardiovert

a flutter ablation versus a fib ablation
I’m a 70-year-old male that’s had four ablations all unsuccessful. Three years ago I had a pacemaker being my pulse rate, went down to 25. I’ve tried Tyson and that worked get me back in rhythm but I had to go off because my QT number was very long and they were concerned about sudden death. They put

When you talk about heart rate on here . Do you mean the red pulsing heart ? On Apple Watch .
I’m starting to ignore the ecg as it’s getting me and hubby confused so concentrating on the red heart on the Apple Watch . As I think the ecg counts the flutters from the top part of the heart thst gets confused with the electrical signals . The heart function nurse said that digoxin can mask the problem

Apixaban Eliquis vs Teva
Anyone had issues with Teva Apixaban? My wife has been switched from Eliqius to Teva and now has a number of side effects (anxiety/emotional, nausea, headaches, balance) that she never had while taking Eliqius for 9 years.

Propanolol
I have been given Prop for my AF, cardiologist changed me over from Digoxin to it. I also have restless legs and they seem to have become really bad since starting prop. Does anyone else have af and rls, if so what do you take?

Cholesterol, Hypothyroidism, Statins
The issue of elevated cholesterol in those with undiagnosed/under medicated hypothyroidism used to be commonly known. Not so now, the information is out there but not sufficiently joined up and prominent in many doctors minds to be a frontline consideration. Thus we need to be well versed so we can

Low Heart Rate
As I mentioned a few days ago, I've been waiting to hear from the Arrhythmia clinic. It's been 3 weeks and no phone call so I called today, got a voicemail. Hopefully I hear soon. Today I don't seem to have any energy and thought I would check my HR. I was shocked to see it was 43. Sure hope I don't

medication after open heart surgery
is there anyone on this site who has had a heart valve replacement and is now using biologic meds to control their ra? If so, I’d love to hear your experience. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve which needed replacing in June (an event hastened by a toxic reaction to leflunomide). I’ve had an Inspiris

In June 2023 I ended up in A&E with some odd symptoms and the doctors thought I had a TIA, after a MRI, CT with contrast, ECG, Blood tests, Echo and a heart monitor for a week they could not confirm or deny what happened that day but wanted to keep me on clopidogrel for 3 months just incase. Since then

Hey guys. Glad to find this group. 81 years old- Diagnosed 7 years ago with a Gleason 9 The Onc's finally scared me into having a radical but I refused to let them take my nerves. They told me I would be gone in 5 yrs. In retrospect wish I hadn't had the radical. Info and options were very hard to come
