returning to exercise after recent ICD placement
Good morning Following a VF arrest about 4 weeks ago I’ve now got an ICD fitted. Before the arrest I was running 10km every day and going to various exercise classes at our local Sports Centre Being active was sort of my thing. I’ve got an appointment with the Cardiac Rehabilitation team in a couple

atrial flutter and hot weather
I put a similar post on general BHF site but wondered if people with pre existing arythmia experienced anything similar in hot weather. Background is Aneurysm in ascending aorta and congenital bicuspid valve found incidentally in sept last year. Had 12 days early Oct last year with heart beat at 75

Heart Rate Spikes after Ablation
Hello, I am a 42 year old female. I was diagnosed with afib when I was 18. I played sports with this at times debilitating condition, all through college. I was in much better shape then. Anyway, I had an ablation in March 2022. So now I am 4 months post ablation. It seems the ablation has helped

Life is for living
I had a crappy week this week - work and domestic hassles abounded. So yesterday afternoon I took my beautiful wife to our local pub and we had a few drinks. Then we enjoyed a lovely Chinese meal with the family. Every AFib rule broken and yes, I had an episode. But instead of fighting it and becoming

Today was NOT the day
All gowned,obs done,cannula in place ready for my TOE and ablation BUT INR still only 1.7 and consultant decided that either procedure was ill advised as I have a prosthetic aortic valve and INR of 1.7 is a dangerous level. We had a good long discussion about ablation for my atrial flutter and ultimately

Pregabelin & Mirapex?
Oh my! I just had a telephone appointment with a sleep doctor I had seen a number of times prior to the pandemic. I was telling him about finding out about the Mayo Clinic algorithm and wanting to get off Mirapex because of augmentation. His first question was "Tell me what you mean by augmentation

The Yo-yo of the blanking period

Post-Ablation Afib Episode Causes?
I had my first cyro ablation in March after which I had a brief, 15-minute Afib episode and then a 4-hour and a 6-hour episode, all while off the flecainide which had kept episodes at bay for 10 months or more before the ablation. Now I am back on 100 mg. flecainide daily. Because my episodes are always

Low heart rate
For the past few weeks my husband has been concerned about his low heart rate averaging at 47bpm. He has a pacemaker and ICD. He takes bisoprolol 2.5mg, Candesartan 32mg and Indapamide 1.5mg. He has been feeling more light headed and dizzy but we put that down to the heat. He has a telephone appointment

PACs instead of AFib
Started AF about 12yrs ago when an idiot dr overdosed my thyroid meds. Since then I have usually several episodes a year (lasts an average of 6 or so hrs and I take metoprolol as soon as it starts). I take hawthorn/magnesium glycinate/taurine/CoQ10 daily. Had my first episode this year in June and thought

Failed ablations
Just to ask people who got two, three even four ablations and still in Afib, did you ask your ep why it failed? Why do you keep seeing the same ep and keep doing the same thing over and over again knowing it will fail. There is out there many very skilled ep who got thousands of ablations under their
