Post operative delirium
I am new to the group and see how supportive it is. I think this is especially important at a time when many NHS hospitals, like mine in North London, are unable to provide a face to face cardiac rehabilitation service because their rooms have been repurposed. I was diagnosed with heart failure earlier

So Worried - update
We’ll, he’s still in hospital; they’ve tried various drugs unsuccessfully to bring the HR down. They’re planning a cardioversion today - bit anxious about it because he missed a dose of apixaban on Tuesday in all the kerfuffle of going into hospital! 🤞🤞it all goes ok and does the trick!

Isosobride mononitrate
Had cabg x 3 2 years ago. 1 yr later discovered a problem with a 4th artery. Too narrow to stent. Given Ranexa to control angina type episode. Worked for about a year although I’ve been having hearing problems so when I had another episode didn’t want to increase it so meds changed to the isosobride

Importance of Blood Testing
Diagnosed with afib in Feb '21, taking .50gm of metoprolol to control heart rate. Recent blood test revealed glucose increased from 100 to 140 likely caused by metoprolol. Cardiologist currently considering other medications. (prior glucose readings were always below 110). Would encourage all to

A little disheartened!
So I'd rather keep things positive but I suppose I can only be honest! Its 7 weeks since ablation for afib. Before ablation I was symptomatic during afib (shortness of breath,dizzy and palpitations and sweating) but when it self terminated after a while I was generally fine. And could excersise generally

Hi I’m new, does anyone suffer from really low heart rate when not in AF?
I have been having AF off and on for the last three years. Over this last year it has increased in frequency. I am having it at least once a week, it usually lasts between 2 to 4 hours.I usually auto convert on my own, thank god.I have an iwatch which has been really helpful in keeping tabs on my EKG

Excellent consultants visit!
Hospital visit went well. ECG done, Echocardiogram done. Saw the very nice consultant who said that they will be doing something to patch my holes! If possible they will use the umbrella like thing, but if it is too big/complex they will have to do open heart patching! I'm going for a cardio catherisation

Exercising with A-FIB - and after affects
I have had 2 ablations (2017, 2019) and (I think) 7 Cardioversions and discovered (confirmed) today that I am back in a-fib unfortunately. I have aortic stenosis and a parachute mitral valve ("the structure of my heart is not normal" in the words of my EP) which we think is the reason for the ablations

Is there some handy post that details the abbreviations that are used here ( CABG / PVST/LAD/STEMI/HCM). I have no idea if posts are relevant to my condition !-

Happy days
100 days since open heart surgery for leaking mitral valve. This is me at the summit of CATBELLS this morning. Reached the top in 36 minutes non stop. All thanks to hard work and the fantastic rehab girls at Papworth. All those small steps lead to larger steps lead to the success I had today.

COVID Advice please
My company wants us to be in the office 3times a week But My spouse is about to go in for a Bypass surgery. During his recovery is it safe for me to travel to work? I want to ask my company to allow me to continue to work from home but I do not want to be unreasonable. Any advice will be much appreciated

Running post sciatica
Hi All, I took up running after my CABG to help keep fit 2 years ago but I had a really bad bout of sciatica in Sept that completely stopped me in my tracks. I'm just getting to the point where I can walk 5K and am hoping I can start running again, leg and back permitting. Has anyone else been in a

creating a warfarin app - how should it look like to you?
hi everyone - I have looked around the internet for good apps that can help you manage your INR level but I haven't found any. As my hematologist is considering switching my anticoagulant from Fragmin to warfarin, I would like to create an app that makes my life easier on this medication. I code, so
