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

Genetic Testing
Hello my husband had heart bypass surgery last year and a heart attack after angiogram. His grandad, dad and sister all have heart conditions. The hospital said last year they would be doing genetic testing and our two children (9&12) would be tested. We still haven’t heard any and when my husband finally

Not prepared for the anxiety that follows heart surgery
Almost 9 weeks post mitral valve repair and Aortic valve replacement. It was all quite sudden. I was hardly prepared for the valve repair but woke after 8 hours of surgery to find I had also had Aortic valve replacement! That was a lot to cope with! Now I have so much anxiety! I have always been quite

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

An Update to Tokyo Update
It's 5 months today since my mini-maze with Dr Ohtsuka in Tokyo. Yippee !!! 🎂 I will save the song and dance for the 6 month milestone, save to say that I am in NSR each and every day for the whole day. I take zero medications and do not require an anti-coagulant as my left atrial appendage was removed

Anti coagulants or blood thinners?
A friend has recently been diagnosed with AF and another friend told her one of her drugs was a blood thinner. We were on a zoom call and I chipped in saying it wasn't a blood thinner it was an anti coagulant. The friend said that her husband (with AF) was on blood thinners. I started to doubt myself

Phrenic Nerve damage on top of everything else.
Morning all Please help me pick the bones out of this one. Just wondered if anyone on here had their Phrenic nerve damaged during their open heart surgery? I saw my Thoracic surgeon yesterday, and he said it was quite common, but I've never heard anyone talking about it on here. It causes paralysis

Mild aortic stenosis
I have a
murmur
. An Echo revealed mild aortic stenosis. My
heart
is ok though. However I struggle with walking. My thighs ache and I have to stop and rest. My GP doesn't seem to be concerned. I requested ACE medication and he agreed to a low dose. However the ache persists.

heart bypass
just wondering how long people’s heart bypasses have lasted? I had a double bypass twenty one years ago and a stent fitted three years ago, all seems well up to now.
