Ejection Fraction
Recently had an echocardiogram, the results of which showed an EF of 35%. My ECG was normal, my BP which I check several times a day is consistently within normal parameters and as a result of the echo the cardiac consultant now wants an MRI but wants my Primary Care Physician to start me on Beta blockers

Sod's Law. Due for colonoscopy this morning, so spent the last 3 days on a white diet, no alcohol, yesterday went through the Moviprep routine to empty bowels, spent all evening on and off toilet, most unpleasant. Got up at 2am this morning for toilet, and guess what, of course, AF suddenly kicked in

LINQ ECG implant - what follow up have people had.
Hi everyone with or similar LINQ ECG implant fitted. My LINQ device was fitted in February of this year. In May I received a telephone call from the cardiology team, who I have not met, that an Afib event was detected and a medication change to EDOXABAN was prescribed. I have not had any further

ZERO stamina 3 years after AVR
I had a calcified bicuspid aortic valve replaced about 3 years ago. (11/03/2020) The doctors said I would feel much better and have increased stamina after the surgery, but that never happened. In fact, it was just the opposite. And yesterday confirmed my worst fears; I went to the county Fair and

palpitations and high pulse
hi, I’m new here. I’ve just spend 4 days in hospital due to a high pulse rate, palpitations and dizziness. Ecg, X-ray and all bloods came back clear but the problem persists. I’ve been put on beta blockers which have brought my pulse rate down but not stopped palpitations. I have to go back for an echo

Wake up please and you will understand.
Last year I was a mess, my ocd hit high levels but alot of that was because I came off valium cold turkey and it gave me a massive physical and psychological major major battle, that breakdown taught me alot my friends and I hope this will serve you well. I suffered and still do at times when stressed

Overdosing bisoprolol- can anyone offer advice?
I don’t know whether it is where I live ( the NW) but I really struggle to get appropriate treatment. Anyway I picked up my meds on Saturday. Opened them in the car and noticed my bisoprolol was suddenly in 5 mg tablets not 2.5 mg. I went back into the pharmacy to be told that I have been on 5 mg tablets

Atrial Fibrillation. Help.
Hi all. Feeling a bit abandoned at the moment. So many questions and not sure where to turn. A key one I’d like to know is should a patient in the UK with newly diagnosed AF with no known cause be referred to a cardiologist? I am finding I have no one person dealing with this and looking at the overall
