worry over echo results
I am a 58 year old woman with a 3 generational history of dilated cardiomyopathy, including mother who had a heart transplant at 50 and am also a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy, which carries an increased risk of DCM. I have an ECG and Echo every 3 years and when the results of the last echo came

Not exactly ‘in the pink’
Hello everyone. Are there any people out there, that cough up pinkish phlegm. It’s only after lying down for 2 or 3 hours. I’m not quite sure if I’m starting to develop heart failure. I’ve been taking anticoagulants since 2014 and changed onto Apixaban about 16 months ago. Thanks in advance.

hello to everyone from New Mexico, US. I am finding out more about heart issues here on this forum than from my EP and cardiologist combined! Thank you all. I am 69 and had one of the first open heart surgeries done in Los Angeles at 9 years. ( for an ASD) There is still a small leak but mostly corrected

How can I manage persistent AF
I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a Pacemaker fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight). Any periods of AF I’ve had up to now have been 5/

Mitral Valve Clip
I was recently diagnosed with severe regurgitation of my Tricuspid Valve amongst other things. My Cardiologist is referring me to a team of specialists to see if I would be better to have open heart surgery or the Mitral Valve Clip procedure. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience

Change from Apaxiban to Edoxaban?
Surgery rang this Saturday(!) afternoon. Asked whether I would agree to switch from to Edoxaban. Over 4 years I have not had any side effects from Apixaban nor have tests revealed any problems. Has anyone made this switch? Also, the nurse said the advantage was that I would only take one pill, instead

4th Open Heart Surgery - Valve Replacement
Hi! My dad is having to have his 4th OHS in the coming weeks and I'm feeling a bit scared and anxious about it all. His last one was only in July 2021 - they are replacing the same valve that was replaced last time plus another one. Does anyone have any experience of having 4 open heart surgeries? Many

Dental extraction.
My question is regarding dental extraction. At the end of this month, I am due to have four dental extractions: Two stumps (it’s a long story); the root of a crown which came off recently and where there is insufficient root left to re-join the crown; and a leaking abscess which appeared the day before

One cardioversion later which restored nsr for a couple of days only and I am 3 weeks away from an ablation. Having

It's A Wonderful Life!
My wife and I took advantage of some unseasonable sunshine today and went for a walk along the coast here in Hampshire. As we walked I was struck by just how much my life has changed since I had bypass surgery five years ago. This walk features some challenging climbs up and down from the cliffs, and

22 years of Bisoprolol
I have a

murmur
caused by a subaortic membrane for which I have a yearly echo and follow up and have recently been diagnosed with micro vascular angina. I have been on Bisoprolol 2.5mg for 22 years and have had bradycardia with a resting heart rate of 50.

AF rears it’s ugly head again
The Dr who examined me also said I had a
heart
murmur
? This was news to me? Or is it the same thing as eptopics? I didn’t even ask questions as I’d been there for so long and I was tired and weary and just couldn’t wait to get home and allow the meds to take their course.

Left Atrial Shunt
I have had AF for 9 years. I currently take Bisoprolol and Apixaban. I have had two ablations, neither of which stopped the AF. However the second ablation in 2019 left an Atrial septum defect I.e. a hole between the two atria which apparently causes a left atrial shunt. The arrhythmia nurse who I saw
