Acute Pericarditis
In September I had an NSTEMI and after Angiogram was told I didn't need Stents as there was no signifacat blockage, Ejecvtion Fraction as good and had preserved left ventrical function. During my time in Hospital (a week) I felt fine and was actively encouraged to wander the corridors. First week home

Does one AF episode warrant medication
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP.So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.

Knock wood... AFib continues to be in check
I've been working at 6,800 ft/2,100 m as a Camp cook in the San Bernardino mountains for the past two summers and roaming the Santa Ana River Valley peaks at 10,000-11,500 ft/3,000-3,500 m.

Pre diabetes post bypass surgery?
I had an alarming text from my GP surgery telling me the result of a blood test showed that I’m pre diabetic and that I could enroll onto a programme to improve my lifestyle! I was absolutely shocked . I contacted my GP surgery (using the irritating on line form /application for advice of doom 🤦🏼)

Potential Diagnosis. Vasospasms
So about 8:30am this morning I had a sudden punch to the chest and pain in my arm, it felt different so I did decide to go to hospital felt short of breathe too. ECG fine Second ECG fine Troponin was only 6. So obviously ruling out a heart attack, however I had two more episodes of the same thing

A big shout out for an ILR - implanted loop recorder ECG
Some may have seen me get a bit passionate generally in replies to questions about the benefits of having an implanted loop recorder ECG. ( Read on later to see a bit more detail)I had a cryptogenic severe stroke (unexplained) 2 years ago March. 95% recovery following thrombolysing treatment. Subsequent

ECG results
ECG results prior to gallbladder surgery said T wave inversion V1-V3. Does this mean I have a heart problem?

VPB’s
I have an Emay ECG gadget and it keeps saying “accidental VPB “ every so often, when I use it. Anyone have this show up on theirs ? I had an ablation in September. Not sure if I should worry about this or not.

So, I saw my cardiologist yesterday and, before seeing him, his assistant did a 12 lead ecg for him which showed sinus rhythym. The print out was sitting right in front my cardiologist and he said nothing about it, so maybe he can't read ecg's??? The ecg interpretation (from someone other than my

afib and blood pressure
Hello, does anybody else's blood pressure get high when in afib? I had to call the paramedics yesterday because when I took my BP it was 143/112 with HR of 54 and it kind of freaked me out why it was so high with a normal HR, so I took it again after a few minutes and it was 150/101 with a HR of 101,
