Atrial defibrillation
My resting heart rate is normally around 75-90 and can go up to 120 when I am doing walking/ gardening/walking. I think I overdo it at times and then find my heart rate very rapidly starts fluttering and can go up to 140+ even when doing light tasks. Usually this will go back down to around 110 after

Exhaustion!

Is Brugada Syndrome in the risk category for COVID-19
I am a 60 year old female medic in NHS with Brugada syndrome. I do not require an implantable defibrillator. Do i fall into the at risk category as per COVID-19 guidelines? Should I be shielding or can i continue to work and if so, under what if any conditions (ie direct patient contact etc)?

Waiting forever after complications with an Angiogram
Hi all, New here. Had a heart attack in early July last year and had no idea that I had suffered one - no chest pain, just dizziness, nausea and pain in my arms and back more akin to muscle aches after exercise (I also thought I had some sort of gastric reflux and swigged a load of Gavescon). Anyway,

Defibrillator
Hi everyone I have posted before as my husband had a cardiac arrest in May 2018 and sustained a hypoxic brain injury. He had a defibrillator fitted in his chest as his ejection fraction was only 32%. I’m corniced as I would like to know life expectancy after what has happened to him.

Light-Headed When Walking
Hi all, I had my first Cardiac Arrest in 2011 followed by a triple heart bypass op. From then until a few weeks ago, all was well. I did long-distance walking (Camino de Santiago etc) without any issues; I also used a treadmill 2 or three times a week to offset my sedentary job. However, on 12th December

Heart problems & a way to detect them early

Allergic to meds
I’ve had AF for 8 years. My meds have been Eliquis, aspirin, Amioderone and Nebivolol. 6 years on Amioderone and 6 months on Nebivolol. I recently became severely short of breath. This resulted in two visits to the hospital where on the first visit I was told (after all tests came back negative) that
