The A-A Hearts of Ghana programme team that headed out to Accra provided much needed training to local cardiac professionals, and also performed cardiac surgery to patients who would not otherwise have access to these lifesaving treatments. For future missions to take place, the programme is in desperate

Compression stockings
My husband has been wearing his compression stocks for 7 weeks now after having had a triple heart bypass.They are driving him mad now and he wants to stop wearing them. How long should they be worn for? Appreciate any advice, please.

Have I Really Got Heart Insufficiency?
I detest the the Heart Failure as it does not truly describe the condition and needs changing but I doubt the professionals can be bothered. As many of you will know I have serious issues my right foot/lower leg (in fact my only foot). Spending most of my time in a wheelchair I tend to develop a fair

Interesting to know...
If you had the idea that AF is reserved for us, humans, you were wrong. It is kinda catching, lol, so our pets can also have AF problems. Here a passage from an article, talking about AF in cats and dogs and the interdependence of heart size and the probability to have AF (allegedly, larger hearts (sportsmen

Advice regarding setting of expectations ahead of cardiology appointment would be appreciated.
AF since March 23. Currently only really experiencing breathlessness on inclines. No experience of HR over 100 (as far as I know). Devices confirm persistent AF since March. Echo revealed a few mild heart failure issues and recommended cardiology review, which is due in a couple of weeks. My question

AF no longer a problem?
My first episode of AF was in 2014. The ambulance crew came to my house and clearly recorded atrial fibrillation which was confirmed after I was taken to hospital. The Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist put me on Apixaban. I was discharged a year later from his care. A year later I had a short hospital

Regular alternate irregular heartbeats, .75 sec then 1 sec continuous- is this AF or some variation?
Noticed this morning when getting ready for a group bike ride, that I had an arrhythmia - I was slightly breathless as I rushed around getting my kit together. As always, a quick check of the pulse shows my pulse is fast and irregular. Whip out the 1 lead Kardia and first off it says possible AF @ HR

My Mom needs heart surgery & I'm a terrified, 47 yr old baby
I feel so selfish. My MOM is the one who needs her aortic valve replaced, not me. But here I am, terrified of the upcoming surgery. Terrified of how terrified I'll be. Why can't I reframe my thinking? Why can't I look at this as this will save her?! Quick background: I'm 47, female, never married, no

On 8th August this year, 2023, I had open heart surgery for the third time to replace my mitral valve. It was a tricky operation because of all the old scarring and I was worried I wouldn't make it, but I did. It worked really well and for two days I was riding high! However, on the third morning I

Can azathioprine cause chest pains?
Hi, I have been on azathioprine tablets mostly 75mg to 100mg for my Lupus for approximately 20 years. Have been experiencing chest pains on my left side especially after excretion. I had various tests and scans but they are all negative. I had Covid last September and had to stop taking the azathioprine

medication after open heart surgery
is there anyone on this site who has had a heart valve replacement and is now using biologic meds to control their ra? If so, I’d love to hear your experience. I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve which needed replacing in June (an event hastened by a toxic reaction to leflunomide). I’ve had an Inspiris

Metoprolol as rate reducer with no affect on rhythm....
So after my last Holter showed 8500 episodes of SVT (Atrial Tachycardia) in 14 days, with a 19% burden of Atrial Ectopy and 11% burden of tachycardia, my EP recommended an echo (which was normal, thankfully), starting Metoprolol, and Eliquis, while I wait for another ablation. I have tried, and failed

Quivering sensations
I hope you are all wellMy question : Has anyone experienced episodic "quivering" sensations that are very brief, 10 seconds or so? I've had something similar before, several years ago and wore a Zio patch for 2 weeks but never picked up any A-fib only PACs and PVCs. I am now 67 year old dx with paroxsymal

Atrial myxoma
Hello, I’m 47 & a couple of days ago I was screened to check for dilated cardiomyopathy, which my mother has. It was discovered I have Atrial myxoma & need urgent open heart surgery to remove it. I’m in shock & so scared & wandered if anyone has had this surgery & how it was for you?
