I had my pre assessment yesterday and I was really impressed with the level of detailed information I got from the arrhythmia nurse . He spent an hour going through the whole procedure including drawing the heart on paper and explaining mapping and controlling coagulation over the possibly 3 hours of

moderate mitral regurgitation
my echo said I had moderate mitral regurgitation. I have been short of breath and fatigued. My EP has me on Flecainide for A Fib but read you shouldn’t take it if your heart is not structural sound. Does moderate mitral regurgitation qualify as not having a structural sound heart. Tried to look it up

After Heart Surgery
I am 65 years old and had minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in April 21. They went in through the right side of my chest and the op was a success. I am having an ongoing problem of water retention which I am now finding quite worrying. The GP has given me Furosemide water tablets 20mg to take

Ablation advice
My EP has booked me in for an ablation within next six weeks (Sept 13) but didn’t explain why I need it. It took my cardiologist a year to consider arrhythmia and a further year for an EP to investigate it via loop monitor. I’ve been told it’s a rhythm and rate issue, it’s PAF, it’s ectopics, it’s

can I still do it
I completed couch to 5 k after recovering from a heart operation 6 years ago. I have since been diagnosed with arrhythmia and suffered a knee injury. I will be 70 in a months time. Can I regain my fitness and get back to jogging, or should I call it a day.

Heart Surgery, Lisinopril and symptoms
Hi all, I am waiting on heart surgery after being diagnosed with severely leaking aortic valve back in Dec 2021. I have an enlarged heart as a result but my ejection fraction was 64% at the time of the MRI (Feb 2022). My main symptoms are visible neck pulsations that I can also feel in my groin

Help needed interpreting ECG.
The following ECG was taken today prior to a planned angiogram following chest pains (which didn't take place owing to an issue with sedation). It apparently shows left bundle branch block, left axial deviation and inverted T waves. Does anyone know what the significance of these three is? Or how

GP appointment - NHS or NICE guidelines? Sources for TSH info?
BUT For my own reassurance: I have [u]not [/u]read the scare stories but am aware of it all being around, and would like to see anything I can find which will tell me my heart is not at risk, as I read here that there are questions about
heart

and low TSH?

SVT new diagnosis.
Hi I'm a new member I had a funny turn in March where I ended up in A&e with heart rate of 250. I was diagnosed with SVT. Had another episode this week. Heart rate got to 260. When they tried to bring it down it just kept flipping back to tachycardia. After several hours and a cardiologist with me
