Tips for supporting my Dad after heart bypass
Hi all, My Dad is having a triple heart bypass next week so I wanted to ask if there’s anything that anyone found particularly useful/ helpful whilst in hospital and for recovery. Also anything I can do to support my mum too would be wonderful. I’m planning on staying with my mum the week he is

Exercise after heart surgery and cardiac rehabilitation
Today it is 2 years since my AVR at Harefield Hospital…. It was done during Covid so no visitors whilst I was in hospital and afterwards there was very little in the way of Cardiac Rehabilitation so I went searching online and was so thankful I found Angela Hartley. She is behind “Healthy Hearties” and

Bisoprolol and arrhy
hi I am on 2.5mg daily of Bisoprolol. My question is does Bisoprolol reduce episodes of arrhythmia or does it just reduce heart rate? I have paroxysmal AF and GP has recommended increasing the dose to 5mg daily but I am reluctant as I am a runner and my resting heart rate is 45-55 BPM, sometimes lower

Travel insurance help
Hi I had a heart bypass last year and now looking at getting travel insurance sorted for a trip away. I am just confused as to what conditions I list on the travel insurance application. It is heart bypass and high cholesterol or is it now considered I have heart disease/failure also. I never had

Just diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation
Hi I was diagnosed with A-fib a couple of weeks ago via an ECG trace on my Kardia mobile. I am now on Apixaban 5mgs twice daily and Atenelol and have been advised that an ablation is the best way forward. I only have had 3 episodes to my knowledge and so it paroxysmal but makes me feel pretty unwell

ALP and when to add 2nd line therapy
I was diagnosed Feb. 2022 ALP was 307. Started URSO right away. ALP went down quickly - In July 2022 it was 107 but October 2022 was 119 and April 2023 was 120. So my specialist wanted to add ocaliva. I convinced him to give it another 6 months before adding anything and he agreed. So I am praying

Op cancelled & statistics
My AVR scheduled for 2nd May has been cancelled because my CRP level is high. I've asked what the level is, and how it compares to a normal level and acceptable/inoperable level, but the surgeon's secretary didn't know, neither did the pre-op team at the hospital, and I don't know when/if I'll be seeing
