Cardiac Care
Hi there ! Is everyone with A/F supposed to have access to have a cardiologist or access to an A/F nurse? I was diagnosed with A/F in 2011 and have not seen a cardiologist since. I paid for a private consultation with an EP who was keen for an ablation - I was not at that time - and I haven’t

Update
I diagnosed with Flutter end of June 22 after a couple of trips to A&E. prescribed Edoxaban 30mg with Bisosporol 2.5 daily reduced to 1.25 mg daily as I already have low BP. Episodes of possible Flutter are happening at least once a week. I do have etopics apparently and one ECG showed narrow tachycardia

Unusual AF episode
I went out to post a letter this afternoon and was out for about 15 minutes. On my return I experienced what I thought were ectopics with some very mild chest discomfort. I took a 1lead Kardia to check and was surprised to see the "Atrial Fibrillation" indication with a heart rate of 93bpm. The AF

Stroke risk overstated for healthy people with AFib?
I am not on an anti-coagulant, and was trying to find out what the actual risk of stroke is. There's another afib forum called afibbers.org whose leaders don't believe that otherwise healthy afibbers need anti-coagulants, and that the 5X stroke risk that is cited really only applies to older people

Feeling fed up
I suffer with idiopathic VF and have a S icd in place. This has saved my life so many times but this last year my defib has had to shock me about 9 times all correctly. My constant and specialist are at a loss the medication I’m on should be stopping the extra heart beats but aren’t. A world renowned

My first cardioversion. Couple of questions. Thanks.
Oct 10 having a cardioversion for Atrial Flutter. Its been bothering me for about 2 years. Fairly well controlled with • DilTIAZem (Eqv-Tiazac) 180 mg/24 hours oral capsule, extended release but still feel extremely fatigued sometimes so I am finally going to take the cardiologists recommendation.

A tale of caution.
My FIL, whom also has AFIB, was recently switched from warfarin to xeralto. He did not tolerate it well, so while waiting for a Dr. appt to find something easier, he decided...without informing anyone, to reduce the dosage by half. Bad idea. He suffered an ocular stroke and has lost the sight in his

Cardioversion
My consultant is recommending cardioversion as the next step in my AF treatment, primarily in order that I can stop taking bisoprolol as this appears to be impacting on my asthma. Has anyone experience of this procedure, success rates, issues with it etc?
