Wenckebach phenomenon
I have had two heart surgeries in the past and was getting skipped heart beats for a while. After my 24 hour ECG they found something called wenckebach phenomenon. Anyone have any idea what this is and is it normal for someone with a heart condition

occasional AF
My husband has recently had several bouts of AF lasting just a few minutes each. Heart rate only slightly raised. He is 72, pretty fit and not overweight. Had an ECG at the doctors which didn't detect AF. GP just said to leave it but call an ambulance if happens again and he is breathless. Is this how

3 years post successful PVI RF Ablation
Had my three year check up, ECG, Holter monitor, PM diagnostic, echo and full bloods.All good. No AFIB since ablation. BP good. PM has many years left. Only meds 15mg zarelto and 40mg micardis. Still have not got back to as much energy as I would like, maybe just getting old.

Do I have heart failure or heart disease?
This is my first post. Back in 2019 I had what felt like "flutterings" and breathlessness/dizziness. I was diagnosed with arrhythmia. A 24 hour ecg showed ventricular ectopic beats. An echocardiogram showed mild valve leakages but no obvious cardiomyopathy. I was advised to stop/reduce my caffeine

ECG same 9 months post TAVI as 6 months before?
On Tuesday I had to be taken to Casualty. I was there for only three hours, during which I had an ECG, blood tests and a detailed discussion with a doctor. Her many findings have just appeared on my GP Patient Record, and I've spent half-an-hour deciphering all the medical abbreviations. I was a little

ECG not recording heart blockage
I write this long winded message to raise awareness about ECGs and blood tests not recognising angina. Over the last few months I have had very frequent angina both at rest and in exercise. My medication for a previous HA was increased to maximum dosage in January due to a visit to A&E and as usual

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

Massage
Had a massage yesterday lunchtime to unknot shoulder and back muscles. Afterwards, I felt really spaced out, vacant and woosy. Looking at website it mentions that massage effects blood pressure. Used Kardia to do ECG and got half a dozen unrecognised readings. Slept for 2 hours and eventually came round
