After a cardio version what things should you avoid doing in relation to exercise or every day stuff? To reduce risk of returning to AFib?
Post HA, arrest and a stent ( which put me into continuous AFib) 3 months ago Saw arrhythmia specialist yesterday and will have 1st cardio version in about 4 weeks. I was very fit and used to exercise before this lot. I’m now in slow lane at swimming and get breathless walking to quickly or up a small

Newbie.... Just joined and trying to make sense of this new situation in my life!
Had my heart attack back in June, stent fitted, lots of complications. I had previously been fit and healthy (or so I thought), weak as a kitten when I came out of hospital and have slowly got stronger... Three and a bit months later still off work. Been through all the emotions, tears and low points

Medications after having a stent
Hello everyone, just wanted to ask which medications people have been prescribed after having a stent fitted, my dad is due to have one but is struggling to take both asprin and clopidogrel, they both really upset him and he takes lansoprazole which doesn't seem to help, has anyone else had this trouble

Are there any natural supplements really worth taking for AFib? There’s so many claims out there.
Been in permanent AFib since stemi, cardiac arrest and stent fitted 2 months ago. Not obese never smoked exercised hard 4 times a week. Curious about supplements but also curious about medical treatments of cardiac version and ablation as I’m seeing arythmia nurse to discuss options next week. Any info

AF frustration
Good morning, My husband had a NSTEMI heart attack in June of this year and his recovery has been slow due to repeated episodes of AF, he hasn't had an official diagnosis yet as the aftercare has been very limited and he hasn't seen a GP or consultant since having his stent fitted. He had an episode

Is it possible to take a biopsy of a cardiac artery plaque in order to determine exactly what it contains?
Hi All I was found to have, via CT Angiogram, in July 16, a very high Calcium Agatston score of 1315. I then had CABG in Feb 17 at age 66. The day before I asked if it was possible to do a biopsy of a plaque, to help in identifying what they contained. They said it was not possible. Is this correct?

I've recently had lung function tests at hospital and apparently I have chronic childhood asthma! Is that causing all the pain and tight

GCA culprit with possible plaque in artery
Has anybody had stents put in with GCA being the main culprit? I went for a scan and got the results and I can't find anything that means it's good or bad. My appointment with the vascular surgeon is tomorrow and was wondering if anyone on here can tell me if my distal external iliac artery is high

Heart Pills and Eczema
Nearly 10 months after starting on heart pills (ticagrelor, aspirin, ramipiril 2.5 , atorvastatin. lanzaprolole) following an angiogram (1 stent fitted), terrible eczema eruptions on my whole body plus itchy scalp and blocked ears. Could this be a side-effect of ramipiril which is a thiazide diuretic
