NIDDUK quote - link between diabetes type 2 and stroke
People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease at a younger age than people without diabetes. In adults with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart disease and stroke. Adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes.2.

Afib or PACS
My afib/flutter has been well controlled in recent months with Tikosyn and propranolol and my year old pacemaker but the past few evenings following dinner I have had episodes of very brief tachycardia. I wear an apple watch so have quickly checked and can see jump to 120 and last night 150. They are

i'm very lightheaded most of the time. Could it be apixaban? Or is it normal for Parkinsons? my GP says try Dabigatran.
ive been on Apixaban (5 mg x 2 daily) since 2016 for Afb after my stroke and subsequent major heart surgery - fine, my bloods are very healthy. I'm fighting PD with exercise, food and meditation etc. I have good days, bad days but the light headedness is around most of the time. I am 78 and weigh 50kilos

Long recovery
Hi, I’m new here. I’m still struggling after bypass surgery 14 months ago. A lot of chest pain and ankle still a bit swollen. I expected to be back to normal by now and don’t understand why I’m not. Have some ok days but still not able to pick up grandchild or run. Anyone else out there had this problem

Heart bypass
My Dad is having a
heart
bypass
at Southampton hospital next Tuesday. Up until his sudden
heart
attack earlier this year he was a fit and healthy 65 year old. At the time of the heart attack he had two stents inserted but was told he would need bypass following scans.

Higher BP andHR
I’m 70 and I had open heart surgery to remove a Myxoma in my left atrium at the beginning of October 2020. (I have put details earlier of the experience) I have monitored my blood pressure and heart rate since leaving hospital 3 months ago and both have gradually increased from about 120/75 to 140/90

Positive Attitude
Hello I just wrote this in response to a question on another thread thought it may be useful on here !! What changes did you make after a heart Attack in 1982 ?? Well I stopped Smoking, Lost a few pounds but also gained a few £s with not smoking !! I think to some extent it was the positive attitude

Cardio rehab
I would definitely recommend cardio rehab. I had CABG and Mitral valve repair done in 2017. Found motivation really difficult at home and had a delay starting rehab due to arythmia. When I finally started, although the activity did seem really slow, the fact that I had a focus for 6 weeks was very important
