Taking part in Watchman trial to establish if it’s safe to come off anti-coagulants like Apixaban
Good afternoon everyone. On Thursday I am scheduled to go for a procedure to have a Watchman device fitted inside my heart at John Radcliffe Hospital here in Oxford under supervision of the Cardiac Research Team. I volunteered to do this as part of a world wide trial covering 3000 patients to assess

Grateful for any Feedback on PVI Ablation Please
Hi, My background is:- Developed Atrial Fibrillation in November 2021 (persistent from day 1). Had a cardioversion in February 2022, which lasted about 7 weeks and then back into persistent AF, looking back I carried on as normal after the cardioversion and perhaps I should have been more careful.

Have any Vagal Afibbers tried exercising before bed?
As I have Vagal Afib I can switch it off early on in an episode with a Valsalva maneuver. A few nights ago I could not stop the Afib as it did not wake me immediately, so I could not stop it the usual way. I had read that some people exercise during Afib, so rather than pop another Flecainide pill I

ICD/Pacemaker
I had an ICD/Pacemaker fitted three years ago and I am still experiencing pain from around the site of the implant. I also experience a jumping of the diaphragm from it which involves seeing the technician every six months for an adjustment. The heart failure nurse had diagnosed palpitations and increased

Docetaxel Extends Enzalutamide Effectiveness
This is our first proof that resistance to enzalutamide can be reduced with docetaxel. It also shows that triplet therapy may be beneficial in patients who have already progressed to castration resistance. We would expect a larger effect if used at the first sign of castration resistance. https://www.prostatecancer.news

Review of the Wellue 24 hour heart monitor with AI analysis.
I have bought one of these and am very impressed with what it detects and reports. See https://getwellue.com/products/heart-health-monitor Has an optional chest strap included so you can clip the monitor direct to the strap rather than use the adhesive pads. Detects up to 17 kinds of ECG events. When

how do you deal with sudden dizziness
hi My husband has a fib since being diagnosed in 2018. He is an otherwise fit and healthy 76 year old. Walks a lot not overweight no smoking and no alcohol since diagnosis. Is on digoxin and Rivaroxaban once a day. He gets a fib on average for about 24 hours every few weeks. Never found a trigger.

Are Blood Pressure levels relevant to the Anticoagulant decision?
That excellent communicator York cardiology has just done a video on blood pressure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7V7DssSbSE . This included the simple definitions: The Systolic blood pressure. This is when the heart is pumping and ejecting blood into the vascular system and therefore is the highest

Do I need an Ablation ?
I had a recent cardioversion which put me back into sinus rhythm for just one week. During this week I hadn't notice any significant difference in how I felt, with the exception of feeling quite lively for about half a day ( I assumed this was maybe something to do with the anaesthetic) In a recent
