More On Rate Control Meds
Having a quick delve into the arcane world of rate control drugs recently I found a pretty interesting article from the European Heart Rhythm Association:
Beta-blockers in atrial fibrillation—trying to make sense of unsettling results
Some snippets: [i]"Heart failure with a reduced ejection

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

Heart di6
At 36 I had a massive heart attack. 4 years later a stroke I recovered. My heart is enlarged. I had afib given pills and ablation. It worked for 3 years. My afib is back and I am waiting to be treated. I still play racquetball twice a week and lift weights 3 days. I am 61 now. I have worked out since

Low sodium diet
I am here, on this forum for my husband's
CKD
/proteinuria (all unexplained- kidney biopsy was "normal" as well as his genetic test). Anyway, his Nephrologist put him on low sodium November 30th. I went on it with him and haven't had a migraine since!

Fast heart rate today
I've been back in AF for 4 weeks, and my pulse was 80-90ish most of the time, but this afternoon and evening it's gone up to 100-130bpm, and feels really uncomfortable. I'm on 7.5mg bisoprolol and 20mg rivaroxaban. In my first bout of AF I was on 10mg bisoprolol and my pulse always stayed below

Mum with CBD
Good morning It's been a while since I wrote on here. My mum got diagnosed with CBD in 2017 we were told in January 2020 she had 4 weeks left to live and was moved into a care home for palliative care. Thankfully she is still with us. Hasn't eaten and been bed bound now for 4 years. She survives on 6

Random heart rate spike but no missing beats
Hi, does anyone else get random heart rate spikes for no reason which come straight back to normal range? My resting HR is 60, I was just brushing my hair and it spiked to 130, I felt dizzy, could feel my heart pounding in my throat. I couldn't feel beats missing when I felt my pulse. Blood pressure

LINQ ECG implant - what follow up have people had.
Hi everyone with or similar LINQ ECG implant fitted. My LINQ device was fitted in February of this year. In May I received a telephone call from the cardiology team, who I have not met, that an Afib event was detected and a medication change to EDOXABAN was prescribed. I have not had any further

Wrist and hand operation.
Hi again lovely helpful people. I am due to have a wrist and knuckle replacements (MCPJ silastic replacement) and intrinsic releases (tendons I think). It’s a big deal and not without risks I’m very worried. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar operation? Thank you 🙏

Afib Stroke Risk Lower in those that take Statins
Statin use is usually associated with a reduction of cholesterol and heart attacks, but a new study also shows an important additional benefit -- a significant reduction in strokes and TIA's in the Afib population. Something to discuss with your doctor if you're not already on statins, especially

ecg on Apple Watch different to the red heart section
Hi myself and my husband are a bit confused as his Apple Watch on the ecg says average 110/120 beats a minute but the average heart rate on the red heart says average between sixties to nineties . We were thinking maybe the ecg is picking up Jist the fast beats as he has persistent AF we are waiting

beta blockers and anticoagulants
Medscape posted a long article about a research on beta blockers and how few RCTs have been done on their efficacy for AF. It was hard to interpret but seems that for some folk they make AF worse and for many the side effects are too negative. There’s also an article on over prescribing of anticoagulants

cardiac catheterization through the wrist?
My cardiologist is treating me for afib and possible CHF. He is bugging me big time to have a cardiac cath. to "rule out" CAD. I am resisting this, as many years ago I had a very bad experience with the femoral artery entrance way for the catheter procedure, and recovery was lengthy. The cardiologist

Hello to all you wonderful people. Without getting into a lot of detail, I will try and get straight to the point. I’ve been told I can make a novel out of one tiny incident…..lol After having a Holter monitor for 72 hours, my cardiologist wanted to see me right away. He said he was concerned with
