The Constitution of Medical Knowledge (Part 2 of 3)

Loss of Respect for Expertise
[/u] How do we know what is true? None of us has the time or the inclination to test everything for ourselves. We rely on trusted experts to tell us. Few doubt that the heart pumps blood to our lungs and other tissues, although few have seen our hearts do that

Long term outlook
Hello, I'm new to this forum so hello to everyone out there. I'm 41 and had heart surgery 13 months ago to replace a leaky mitral valve. This was caused by endocarditis from an unknown source. I struggled with anxiety for a bit whilst waiting for the operation but I have been doing fine over the

Help needed interpreting ECG.
The following ECG was taken today prior to a planned angiogram following chest pains (which didn't take place owing to an issue with sedation). It apparently shows left bundle branch block, left axial deviation and inverted T waves. Does anyone know what the significance of these three is? Or how

SVT new diagnosis.
Hi I'm a new member I had a funny turn in March where I ended up in A&e with heart rate of 250. I was diagnosed with SVT. Had another episode this week. Heart rate got to 260. When they tried to bring it down it just kept flipping back to tachycardia. After several hours and a cardiologist with me

Ectopic Beats and AF
Joys!!! After having weird chest sensations that make me feel dizzy and nauseous dr has decided I have ectopic beats. This may be while I’ve felt funny recently. I couldn’t decided if it was anxiety or my heart. Other than the AF my heart is structurally sound (for now) so any advice about ectopics

Confusing outcome from mitral valve repair
My 9 year old son underwent open heart surgery in March for mitral valve repair for servere regurgitation. They are still trying to find out what caused it, all they know is he’s had some sort of infection/inflammation of the valves some point. Can’t say how long ago but the valve leaflets were like

Numbness around chest area
I had a
heart
bypass
back in October and since my scar has healed I tend to find either side of it goes numb to the touch around the chest area, is this normal?

statins
hi, after annual blood tests, I have been told I am high risk for a heart attack, even tho cholesterol 4.5. And have to take atarvastatin, alongside Bisoprolol and Rivaroxoban and candesartan that I already take, does anyone else take these and do you have any side effects?

Mouth Pain
I haven't been diagnosed yet , I have an appointment with a new Rheumatologist in week mine retired. I had blisters and horrible pain in my mouth ( started 3 years ago ) we had the blisters biopsied and came back as Lupus so we assumed all the pain in my mouth was lupus. No more blisters but the pain

Missing Posts
My daily BHF email listed several user posts, including 2 from people concerned about how their catching a certain virus might affect them, given their heart conditions. Those posts 'removed' by BHF. It seems odd to me that 2.5 years into this certain virus, it is still considered a tab oo subject

QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score
I’ve just had my annual round of blood tests and apart from one result which came up as abnormal (and has done for the past 25 years), all the other results which I received online appeared OK.

Long time no chat 😄
Well it’s been a while since I posted and what a journey I’ve been on. I try to keep it brief. I year ago I was told I’m steroid dependent. I carry and emergency injection kit of cortisone. I hope I never have to use it. I had a follow up cardiology appointment on January 4th this year. I was told I
