Waiting Times
I have been told today that I need a stent fitted and I wondered usually how long it will be approx until it is done. My cardiology department are playing catch up at present so I suspect it could be a while!

Stress Test/myocardial perfusion scan Results
Good afternoon, I had my tests carried out in Feb and despite being told I would receive the results in 2 weeks I have only just been sent them. The consultant has not written to me with his conclusions yet and I am not being seen until July. My GP is happy to have a look at it but my appointment is

Surgeon then says "you had a heart attack but we've inserted a stent and fixed the plumbing". At the

Are there any Life and Health Insurance providers for people with heart conditions?
Hi everyone 🙏🏽 So I had a heart attack when a little over 10 years ago now. It was not a big one and thankfully the great people at St George's Hospital picked this up and saved me by inserting 1 stent. The question I have is regarding life and health insurance. Can anyone recommend any Insurers

Cardiac Rehab appointment
Hi all, I’m very grateful to have an appointment with the Cardiac Rehab team tomorrow afternoon. I have no idea what to expect, other than knowing I may be asked to ride a bike on an angle of some sort. I spoke to a friend of a friend who has had an appointment like this. She said the staff give you

Advise on bypass surgery
Ive not been on this site before. Has anyone had a cardiac myxoma? I was sent for a Echocardiogram and because of results was not allowed to go home. I had bypass surgery to remove a tumour the size of an egg. I've been left with palpitations and a fast heart rate. My after care has been terrible.

Raised blood pressure
BP had been stable for 18 months after HA. I’m on low dose candesartan 4mg . My blood pressure started rising slowly then I began to feel unwell so doctor had increased candesartan to 8mg and BP has stabilised again. What makes BP increase I have not done anything different? Could it be arteries becoming

Recuperation
Hi I had a qaudruple heart bypass on 03 December 2021, it's now almost twelve weeks since the surgery and I feel fit and well. I walk regularly between 12,000 to 15,000 steps each day. I'd like to start playing double tennis again, but I'm a little concerned how it might affect my sternum. Is there
