Acceptance of Permanent AF
Hi everyone Well I have now had to accept that we have exhausted all treatment and I am now in permanent AF. My rate is still high, 100 at rest and 130 on movement for 7 weeks now. I started Digoxin and stopped Flec last Friday and seems to be working slowly, aiming to 70/80 bpm at rest. If this

Millions invited to take part in UK scheme to diagnose diseases earlier
I'm posting this for information - not to promote the project. As I see it, each of us has to decide for ourselves. But if you don't know it exists, you don't have that choice. There is a Guardian article and the project's own website. [i]

Triple Bypass surgery
Hi everyone after being informed back in July that I have severe multi vessel coronary artery disease I was informed yesterday that I need a triple heart bypass. I don’t mind admitting that this terrifies me and thought hearing from others in the same situation may help. I have also been diagnosed with

Anticoagulant switching
There have been a few post recently about pressure to switch from apixaban to other anticoagulants. I’ve been on apixaban for a number of years now and so far not been asked to change. However my 92 year old father in law, who has chronic kidney problems, has just been given edoxaban instead of his

As you lovely people were so kind reassuring and helpful during my recent meltdown, I thought I’d let you know what happened today. I had an echo and then an ecg after which I was seen by a very nice cardiologist for results. The high BNP is due to persistent AF, my heart remarkably in good shape with

Atrial Flutter and AFib
Hello, Briefly I've had multiple Aortic/Mitral valve surgeries, with the second in 2013 I acquired Complete Heart Block, Permanent AF, Shunt, and my Pacemaker. I'm probably lucky that I've been reasonably stable over the years, other than every now and again having the PM settings altered. On Warfarin

Varicose Veins ( Heart Related question )

Awaiting diagnosis of Heart Failure
My husband had a Mitral and Tricuspid Valve repair in June 2020, however his AF could not be treated as it had been happening for too long (they discovered the valve problems because AF was found on an ECG some 18 months prior to the operation). He has been struggling with his breathing for some months

angiogram
Has anyone had to stop their apixaban for an angiogram. I understand because of bleeding, but when I went to have my pre op assessment the nurse didn’t know. She "thought" I had to stop the apixaban for 2 days prior and take aspirin 75 instead. I have tried to get on to the hospital, but always answerphone
