Can you help with this Kardia ECG strip please? Kardia say it is sinus rhythm but I’m not so sure
Reported by Kardia as sinus rhythm. I wonder if it is slow atrial flutter or heart block. I have had permanent atrial fibrillation for years after ultimately unsuccessful ablations. I only take an anticoagulant but last night I was batting along at 112 per minute during a tense online chess game so

A morbid subject but who is the oldest person with Cardiomyopathy?
I'm 64, Hypertrohic Cardiomyopathy, pacemaker and ICD in place, anticoagulants, betablockers etc. Generally well but lack energy.

Going in For Second Ablation
Hi folks! I had my first ablation over four years ago, at Texas Cardiac Arrythmia with Dr. Andrea Natale. I wasn't able to come off my medication after, but the meds then worked to control my afib and numerous PVCs where it didn't pre-ablation. During these four years I had been taking 50 mg of Flecainide

stay positive….
Hi everyone. After having A.Fib for almost two years I had a cardioversion done on the 15 Dec last supported by six months on Amiodarone. My heart rate is now in Normal Sinus Rhythm and so far all's good. Had the Bisoprolol reduced from 3.75 twice a day to 1.25 twice a day and feel a lot more comfortable

Travelling with Afib
Hello all. I've had 3 episodes of paroxysmal afib, each time reverting back to sinus rythym in a few hours. I've had a normal 24hr monitor and echocardiogram, but I do have pre-existing CAD with 5 stents. Since the 1st episode I've taken edoxoban and my bisoprolol has been increased from 5mg to 6.25mg

Study says orchiectomy has higher risks for fracture than chemical castration. I wonder why.

Atrial Tachycardia ablation
Has anyone here had an ablation for atrial tachycardia after they’ve had afib ablations? I’m curious to know if that ablation was any different than your afib ablation? I’ve had 3 afib ablations and it seems they’ve resolved the afib and flutter (knock on wood). But they’ve left me with more regular

A question on BP
I am on Nebivolol 5mg for the last 2 months. I take my BP reading about 2 times a day and have watched my pressure go down. I hadn’t had a AFib episode in over a month since on the meds. Night before last, my BP was 114/59. I then became worried it was too low, and couldn’t fall asleep. Once

Junctional Rhythm
I have had Paroxysmal Afib since 2017, and take Warfarin and Bisoprolol ( now been 5mgs twice daily for a year ). No other drugs. I have been having a lot of unclassified results on my Kardia lately. A few is normal and I always thought it was interference or similar, or me not being still enough. However

Hello everyone I'm a woman in my 60s and was first diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib about a year ago. I've been having an episode about every 4-5 months and was prescribed Flecainide to be taken at the onset of an episode and that seems to stop it within about half an hour, luckily. Unfortunately,

SBRT with CT planning vs MRI planning
Just had zoom with Dr. Amar Kischan from UCLA regarding SBRT. Was about to schedule and he threw in a "kicker". He said the SBRT with CT instead of MRI (have defibrillator can't have MRI) increases the risk of serious adverse events (bowel (proctitis's), urinary and ED by 5% instead of 1% total with
