Buzzing!!
OMG OMG! I've just completed W5R2 - two 8 min runs. I am absolutely buzzing!! This time last year, I was still recovering from a double heart bypass after having had a completely unexpected heart attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it! I did have a small emotional moment

Low heartrate - Bradycardia
Low heart rate - Bradycardia I had heart surgery twice for an Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm in April 2019 twice and spent a month in hospital. I had bouts of Afib during my stay and was put on Amiodarone for around 4 months this was later changed to a small dose of Bisoprolol - 1.25 mg per day

The link between bradycardia and hypothyroidism
I had a successful Cardioversion via my previous surgery/private cardiologist some months ago but have been struggling in the last couple of months with bradycardia (bpm low 50’s ) ache across chest and episodes of falling asleep when I don’t feel especially tired (could this be syncope?) Im aware

General Anaesthetics for Pulmonary-Hypertension patients
Hi there. I'm new to this community. I've just been referred to a Pulmonary-Hypertension consultant by my Cardiologist as my latest Echocardiogram says I have "intermediate probability of pulmonary hypertension", along with "moderate mitral valve regurgitation". My question relates to General Anaesthetics

Oh My God 😯 Three dazed and confused Cardiologists.
Some not so junior heart specialists just admitted they don't know what to do with me. An angiogram showed a narrowing of the Lateral Anterior Descending coronary artery that's near two smaller branches. I've unsucessfully tried three vasodialating medications but can't tolerate them due to constant

Can you drive with intermittent broad complex tachycardia that doesn’t give you many symptoms?
After phone call from cardiologist last evening informing me of episodes of broad complex tachycardia on my 5 day ECG I’m left with many questions. I’m a 60yr female. HA and AFib 9 months ago. Not a risk factor in sight. 🤷🏼♀️ Being referred to electrophysiologist. Any advice please. Thank you.

Broad complex tachycardia. I’m being referred to an EP after a 5 day ECG showed episodes of this. I’m imagining the worst.
I’m 9 months post heart attack, (at 59yrs), due to blood clot, 6 months post successful cardio version for AFib. None smoker, was physically fit pre HA ( still exercising), healthy weight , no risk factors. Ejection fraction has improved from 40% to 46% Cardiologist phoned me earlier. I’d had arrhythmia

Heart Rhythms
Strange one I had open heart surgery twice in 2019 for an Ascending Aortic Aneurysm. Though as far as I know my heart was in good condition. I then had bouts of Afib following surgery. More recently I've had bouts of Tachycardia. I was in hospital recently for something else and my notes said my normal

Exiting A Forum
Howdy all. Hope you're all tickety boo. Just a quicky. I joined the BHF forum recently to see if I could get help, support and info from there about the mitral valve stuff but Ive been shocked at seeing some of the venomous responses some peeps have had to, what I consider, legitimate questions.

To my HU family...
I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to 'all of you', your good thoughts, prayers and vibes. My son's heart surgery went well,Friday, and he is in ICU. We talk of the effect of STRESS! I was thinking so much about him, I was on auto-pilot. BUT, last night, my body said OK, rest! I slept for

Permanent AF
Hi everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with permanent AF following having paroxysmal AF for over 4 years. My heart rate never goes much beyond the 70s so no one seems worried about it, the GP has just increased my bisoprolol from 2.5 to 5mg. I am on other appropriate medication including anti

Visit to cardiologist/beta blockers
Thankfully he says my
heart
is strong. I have a slight
murmur
, nothing to worry about but he could put me on beta blockers. I told him I was on 7.5mg prednisolone and really didn't want to take any other medication unless absolutely necessary. He said OK, no problem.

Chloresterol drug, clinical trial.
I have been contacted by my GP asking if I would like to participate in a trial of a drug to lower chloresterol. My history is that I had high chloresterol 25 years ago which resulted in blocked arteries and necessitated a heart bypass surgery. I also had a mild heart attack 6 years ago but no reason

Afib or palpitations?
Once in a while I get very irregular heartbeats after I go to bed at night. My Dr. said they are palpitations and not afib and did not occur during the 24 hour holter monitor, but I noticed a pattern as to when they occur: always after a very salty and probably MSG restaurant meal and a few drinks with

Echocardiogram result
I've just had the result of my echocardiogram. It doesn't sound too bad: the valves are ok, apart from some mitral valve regurgitation which was described as "insignificant". The aorta is ok. The ejection fraction is down from last time (2 years ago) but is described as low-normal at 50-55%. The fly

Heart muscle not working properly
I had an angiogram Monday and the doctor yold me my heart muscle is not working properly. To my understanding this is heart failure. Am I correct? I have also been told to 'get fitter' and he will see me in 3 months. The problem is I had two knee replacements (one which went badly wrong the second

Mild/moderate leaking mitral valve
I’m waiting for an echo scan and 24hr monitor as I’ve been having bouts of light headedness and my GP heard a
heart
murmur
. The last scan was 4 years ago. I also have mild FMD in both Carotid arteries for which I was advised to take 75mg of aspirin a day.

poisoned by statins
I have now come to the conclusion that instead of getting the correct treatment for my heart problem I have been given a higher dosage of statins that is causing me more harm. I believe that my diagnosis should be treated with a stent or a bypass. I have three siblings , two have had heart attacks and
