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.

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
health
and low TSH?

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

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

Ectopic Beats and AF
Joys!!! After having weird chest sensations that make me feel dizzy and nauseous dr has decided I have ectopic beats. This may be while I’ve felt funny recently. I couldn’t decided if it was anxiety or my heart. Other than the AF my heart is structurally sound (for now) so any advice about ectopics

Life expectancy
There is no box to tick if someone is taking anti-coagulants, so am I to assume the medication does nothing for the
health
of my
heart
, and that the length of my life will be curtailed simply because I have AF?

Podcast on heart, cholesterol, statins, diet, gut health, Vit D, micro biome 💕🌱
This came on randomly in the car this morning on the way into work. I found it very engaging and it gave me confidence I’m on the right track with my health. They reference auto immune and epidemic hypothyroidism. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-gut-health-gurus-podcast/id1433882512?i=1000600120659

Use of ED ring
Hi All, I'm a new member to this group so I apologise if this question is a common one. Due to health reasons (hypertension and side effects from meds) I have suffered from ED on and off for years for which I used Cialis (20mg) which was usually effective. However, couple of years ago I was diagnosed

Confusing outcome from mitral valve repair
My 9 year old son underwent open heart surgery in March for mitral valve repair for servere regurgitation. They are still trying to find out what caused it, all they know is he’s had some sort of infection/inflammation of the valves some point. Can’t say how long ago but the valve leaflets were like
