Advise on bypass surgery
Ive not been on this site before. Has anyone had a cardiac myxoma? I was sent for a Echocardiogram and because of results was not allowed to go home. I had bypass surgery to remove a tumour the size of an egg. I've been left with palpitations and a fast heart rate. My after care has been terrible.

Open heart surgery recovery
I am 56 years old and pretty fit (apart from my heart valve issue!) and have just had valve replacement by open heart surgery. Keen to understand the recovery time for chest pain reduction post surgery? Is it weeks or months?

Bypass surgery chest wound blistering
I’m new here & wondering if anyone has any advice. My husband had a cabg x 5 in January and his chest wound leaked for a long time thankfully that has cleared up but 3 blisters have formed on the wound now - the District nurse thinks they will reabsorb in time. Has anyone else experienced this?

Irregular Heartbeat
This practice nurse almost killed my husband (triple

+ 1
heart
valve) by saying his swollen ankles were a result of his medication. Two weeks later on 30/12/19, he had a heart attack resulting in a months stay in hospital and stent fitted.

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

Re earlier post on different forum.
A thorax CT in September identified coronary artery disease. An angiogram in November verified extent of above as moderate to severe calcification in the LAD vessel. You would have thought drug therapy would have commenced immediately to prevent either a stroke or heart attack but NO, it wasn’t until

Pains post heart attack
Three weeks after major heart attack and three stents fitted, I’m still getting the odd pain in my heart region. Sometimes I get a little pain in my heart while taking a deep breath. Sometimes it’s just a single pain and it goes and sometimes four or five pains each time I breathe. It was more so in

Night sweats
My elective heart surgery went horribly wrong. First a stroke and then a junior doctor in the stroke unit wrongly deciding that I was allergic to blood thinners and putting me on a drip of Vitamin K. Not a good move after a mechanical valve transplant with blood clots a real possibility. After two months

No appointment available for rehab
Dear All My husband was referred for cardiac rehab to our local hospital. However, the hospital told us that they are dealing with a huge backlog and hence it will take a lot of time before he gets an appointment. Does anyone know of an alternative? I registered him on the bhf Weekly email thing for
