Newly diagnosed AFib 40 year old
Hello everyone, last week I was diagnosed with persistent afib with lbbb and I'm terrified. I've been discharged with a bag of meds (bisoprolol, flecanide and rivaroxaban) and on the list for an ablation. I haven't been given much info and investigated everything myself. I just feel utterly depressed

Back Pain Advice and Meds
Hi I posted this in a different forum as unsure which one to use? Anyhow, for the past 6 months I have had very bad back pain which is impacting daily life.

Pace and ablate for atrial tachycardia?
Just wondering..... The evidence here and elsewhere suggests that pace and ablate comprises a good option for many of those folks in later life who have very symptomatic persistent/permanent AF and for whom cardioversion no longer works. We also know that one or more ablations, whilst on the face of

ICD/Pacemaker Job Done
Hi all. Got the implant op on Wednesday and home yesterday. Everything went like clockwork (excuse the pun). I cant praise the staff at Edingurgh Royal Infirmary enough. They were wonderful. It was a very strange experience being awake while this was going on. I could feel all the pulling pushing happening

Confidence
First time on this forum and feeling a little nervous about posting. I had an ICD fitted in 2013 after my heart peaked at 345bpm according to the HRM in the back of the ambulance. The device did its job 6 months later after an episode and kicked 15 times rather than the recognised 3. I had an ablation

I was thinking of the best way to celebrate my eight month anniversary since my WMM (Wolf Mini Maze) in Tokyo by Dr Ohtsuka at the NewHeart Watanabe Hospital. I am still in NSR (normal sinus rhythm) and my divorce from AFib is finalised. As our friend Jim knows, I went a little mad (as you do) when
