Risk of ICDs and living with an ICD
Hi, I am a 64 male and am new to the BHF community. Following a heart attack in 2019 and having a stent fitted, my cardiologist has advised having an ICD fitted. I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of a traditional ICD and a subcutaneous ICD ("S- ICD"). From advice received I think the major downside

What sort of heart problem do I have then?!
I had a heart attack 4-years ago, and had a stent inserted in my right artery. Cardio-rehab helped me back to my normal life (and better than ever before). A year later I had an A&E admission due to a sudden AF: cardio-versioning failed and I joined the bisoprolol club. Two weeks ago I had another ride

Feeling really worried
Had angioplasty a week ago,She couldn’t get stent in LAD as things were” too tight” but did managed to open it up, but also said during the procedure that CABG was probably best option.I will get a app in 8 was to discuss how I am etc. I was feeling positive until I read the discharge notes yesterday

Covid vaccine
Hi all, slightly confused regarding priority groups for the Covid vaccine. Can anyone tell me if having had a heart attack and one stent, no other issues, puts me in the vulnerable category i.e. the 16 to 64 group which I believe is group 6. Am I classed as having heart failure ? I am 63 yrs old and

Cardio rehab
I would definitely recommend cardio rehab. I had CABG and Mitral valve repair done in 2017. Found motivation really difficult at home and had a delay starting rehab due to arythmia. When I finally started, although the activity did seem really slow, the fact that I had a focus for 6 weeks was very important

Insomnia and anxiety
I have palpitations and arrhythmia which is being investigated but I have a horrible feeling that I am going to be told to live with it as I am on beta blocker and Bp meds. I have CHD and a stent and "pre fib". But I know that good sleep is paramount and I'm getting rubbish sleep with the palpitations

Advice, encouragement, sharing
I seemed to be a fit 60 year old cycling 20k every other day and going for 2/3 hour walks in the weekend, until climbing hills became more difficult and the chest/stomach pains started. Within 2 months I was not able to walk to the end of the road anymore. An angiogram showed 5 blockages and I had an

Angina progressively getting worse
Just wondering if others have had similar experiences of Angina symptoms getting worse over 6-12months. Had a stent fitted in main left artery at the end of April20 instead of having a bypass because of Covid. They sent me home with the standard meds and I thought I was fixed, sadly I still got Angina

Just placed on Entresto
Really interesting reading your replies. I have just been advised to go on to Entresto lower dose am and higher dose pm. This was due to low BP readings under 100. Will know my blood test results soon to decide whether I can tolerate higher dose twice a day. I have had a CABG and mitral valve repair

What lies ahead?
Good morning everyone My cardiologist rang me yesterday. MRI showed that my heart is working at reduced capacity and there’s scarring on my heart tissue. It’s one of 2 things..... Coronary heart disease or Cardiomyopathy, what my brother died from a year ago aged just 41. He’s swaying towards Cardiomyopathy

Take 2.... keep going
I started this on our first lockdown April 2019. I managed to get to week 5, but I was really struggling with my breathing. I tried so many different things to help, but I really couldn’t breathe while running. I then suffered a heart attack and had to have a stent, so no wonder. I was pushing my body

Possible heart attack
Hi all I had a small heart attack in Oct 2015, had one stent then and another in January and then another in July of 2016. I haven’t felt right all the way through, continual chest pains at rest and walking and breathlessness. Nobody can seem to get to the bottom of things. I’ve had 5-6 angiograms, stress

CT with calcium/angiogram
I wonder if anyone else has my concern or can shed any light. I had angina in 2017 followed by a CT with calcium score (my choice as less invasive than angio). The result was bad over 600 and showed RCA "obscured " by calcium. Then had angio and stent put in LAD which was badly blocked. Been ok since
