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

Post ablation (1 week) and back in AFib. How often is this likely to happen over next few weeks?
Have had PAF for a few years and this year episodes became lengthier and more frequent, the latest lasting 4 weeks. Had a Cryo-ablation last Tuesday at Lancashire Cardiac Centre and was ok for a week, albeit with a few spells of ectopic beats and a very short run of AF (30-40 seconds only). Went on

To start blood thinners or not?
For the last three years I’ve suffered paroxysmal AFIB about once every month or two on average. I believe it to be vagally related as it typically occurs in the early hours of the morning and normally I can trace the trigger back to large meals and indigestion or alcohol consumption. Normally my heart

Ablation/S-ICD Recovery Time - why is it taking so long?
Bit of a long one… Hi all, I’m currently recovering from a 4 week hospital stay and struggling with the recovery period. I was admitted for investigation due to a high burden of PVCs which were making me very symptomatic. I had a previous diagnosis of low burden of PVCs, as well as mild dilated cardiomyopathy

Has anyone ever been told that ablation will not work for them?
Hi all i am quite baffled as to why private cardiologist has referred me to one of his colleagues for ablation. I have been told numerous times, by nhs cardiologists, that ablation will not work to treat my afib. If fact one previous doctor said, "Ablation is out of the question due to extent of enlarged

EF of 35
Hello all, I was first diagnosed with heart failure in November 2017, had an ICD fitted 6 months later. Last June I was taken into hospital with sepsis, I went into septic shock twice and almost died twice, they suspected that those nasty little critters were hiding in the ICD. After returning home

Amiodarone and AF
I had cardioversion in August at Bart’s to restore sinus rhythm after being in persistent AF for 6 months. Been on amiodarone and pleased to report not a single flutter since. Had transformed my life. Cardiologist wants to reduce my dose and later change me to another drug. Does anyone have experience

Supraventricular Ectopies
I’m looking for reassurance, my friends. I am plagued by many palpitations these days, which my Kardia says are mostly SVEs, with a bit of Afib thrown in - unless of course Kardia is incorrect and they are all Afib ! I see a cardiologist annually and actually, because I complained of these palpitations

ICD Firing
I’ve recently (6 weeks ago) had a icd fitted for VT. I am also in stubborn AF. This was all very sudden. I’m a 46 year old who has been active and fit previously. Last Wednesday I was out for a light run, and the ICD fired as my AF triggered it. I felt absolutely fine so the shock came as quite a, well
