Sinus Rhythm with Various other Arrhythmias
Since having my first Afib episode in over a year after an ablation in March, 2022, I've had a very few additional Afib episodes. What's new is an almost daily spate of readings from my Kardia of: 'Sinus Rhythm with Supraventricular Ectopics", "Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS", "Sinus Rhythm with Premature

One failed catheter ablation in Jan 2023, massive worsening of symptoms in July 2023 clearly indicating vagal nerve involvement. My very nice cardiologist (Professor) recommends another cath ablation or drug therapy which I know will not work, e.g. can't breathe well after betablocker and developed extreme

IV-ICD Lead failure follow up and advice on reducing infection risk #chinkoflight
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8221047/This is a follow up to a post a month ago on lead failure in my recent ICD implant (12/3/24). The EP pacing technicians had picked up a lead problem on the atrial pacing lead 4 weeks ago and three weeks after the device was implanted. On Wednesday

Pre afib signs
Does anyone else have any pre afib symptoms? I usually get them an hour or so before it appears. My HR shoots up to over 100 for a second and I can feel it in my chest and my HR drops down to normal but I can sense something is going on but HR still around 55-60. Then may 30 to 60 minutes later it hits

Flecainide for chemical version
Persistent AF for over two years punctuated by NSR for 8mths after first cardioversion but only 2 weeks after second. Now on digoxin & sotalol which controls the rate well but limits activities. Clinic suggest trying Flecainide to see if it will chemically induce NSR. Any experiences with this approach

Stopping Flecainide
Had cryo ablation in 2014 and over the past couple years started getting occasional afib episodes esp after exertion. Cardiologist put me on flec, 50 mg bid, which reduced the episodes. Also was advised to use 100 mg as pip in event of breakthroughs.About a year ago the episodes increased and was told

How long for the intense pain of an ICD install to ease?
Had my ICD installation this morning. Oh my days, it feels like I have a spear through my shoulder ( or how I imagine that would feel anyway!) Consultant said worst pain lasts a week, please tell me he exaggerated, and it won't be too bad in a few days 🤔

Could you connect your beginning first AF episode?
When I was first diagnosed in the hospital emerg with atrial flutter/fibrillation my heart that day had instantly started being around 140 bpm (brought down with IV medication). I was referred to a cardiologist. I’m 67 years old and after months of heart tests and blood tests everything was normal,

recovering after ICD shock - advice about the future
I recently received a shock from my ICD at a mainline station in London and spent 2 nights in hospital. My device went off as I was in tachycardia which was 240-260 beats. My condition had been well controlled, following treatment about 8 years ago. I’ve always been an active person doing weights, cycling

My Gabapentin Dilemma
Help! I need some advice regarding my Gabapentin treatments. This is my first post so I hope I don’t ramble too much. I’m over 70 years old with RLS for over 30-40 years. Fortunately I don’t have RLS attacks during the day but have them almost every night after I fall asleep. On high doses of Gabapentin

Could I stop taking Rivaoxaban?
I’ve been on Flecainide, Bisoprolol and Rivaoxaban now for 5 years and have a pacemaker, my heart is in sinus rhythm at 60bpm. I understand that Rivaoxaban is to help prevent blood clots forming, but as my AF is now managed could I stop taking it? I get frequent gum bleeds despite excellent oral hygiene

Heart Failure
I've had afib for many years now its become permanent despite 3 ablations I have developed heart failure as well Im on Jardiance for this but I'm worried because I've read that permanent afib with heart failure can cause cardiac arrest does anyone know if that's true as I also have had 2 stents fitted

15% Ejection fraction and feel well.
Hi I saw my cardiologist today who told me my EF had dropped from 47% to 15 % in just under 3 years. This was measured by MRI. I am on the normal drugs Apixaban Entresto Dysopiramide. I’m well, still work and walk regularly. Within normal weight range. I have been diagnosed with HOCM for 35 years and

question for you ectopic sufferers.?
hi you lovely people. I have a question maybe someone can shed light on.?? Iv had ectopic beats on and off for about 30+ years. But somedays they are more powerful and noticeable than other days. and so for me they are not as mentally draining as other days especially when they’re weak. But when

I am 69 yrs old with low heart disease risk and have had diagnosed afib for three years. I believe I was suffering with it for 2-3 years prior but did not address it until I got the classic symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, out of breath, and vision problems. My doc ran numerous tests on my heart that
