Apixaban and knee replacement
Hi I’m due for a knee replacement in June. When I was first listed they mentioned they would consult with cardio. My pre op is only 3 days before the planned procedure does anyone know if they will stop Apixaban them or will I remain on it throughout. Don’t want to arrive for pre op and have procedure

Heart Murmur
In hospital the doctor asked me if I knew I had a
heart
murmur
. Now I’m worried. I know GCA can get to the
heart
so I’m asking have other people, after a diagnosis with GCA, been told that they have a murmur and that it’s ok?

Beast is Back
Three weeks after my fourth ablation, and advised to drop flecainide, the beast returned. (Kept on metoprolol & Xarelto). Started after an afternoon nap for no reason at all. Confirmed by nurse with ecg yesterday and put back on flecainide until appointment on Monday with ep and another ecg. I’m hoping

Questions about medical terminology
Hello you knowledgeable lot!! Can anybody help me out with this? I will be asking my GP and cardiologist but getting through to them is like winning the golden ticket so I wondered if any of you had heard of these terms! I had a 12 lead ECG and I’ve had a letter saying it shows sinus rhythm (fabulous

First appointment with arrhythmia service.
Hello. I’m 7 wks into my AF journey, having had an episode early March and new to the forum. I’m trying to learn as much as I can. When experiencing my episode where I was tachycardic and diagnosed from ECG with AF , I was discharged on the same day with bisuprolol 2.5 and rivoroxaban 20 mgs daily.

Underlying heart condition (coarctation of aorta) with AF
Hi I wonder if there is a link here? I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation/Atrial Flutter (don't think they know) about 2 years ago. I also have an underlying heart condition where the aorta was narrowed (coarctation), and corrected via open heart surgery when I was 11 (I'm now 63). However heart

Minimally invasive Surgical Ablation carried out in UK, preparing for surgery
Surgical ablation is not used much here in the UK unless open heart surgery is being carried out anyway. In other countries - the Netherlands, US and Japan it is a first line treatment for persistent afib (and actually some paroxysmal too) and carried out by keyhole/minimally invasively. I am 5 plus

Hi all, please can some of you list the life style changes that can be recommended to some one newly diagnosed with Afibb?
I have a friend who is awaiting diagnosis of Afibb, also has huge burden of ectopic beats and tachycardia when in sinus mode. I have seen on here listed sometimes, the life style recommendations that can be made whilst awaiting cardiology appointment but have been unable to find them. Also can not remember

Could anyone share with me their experience of the process, experience and effectiveness of the Implanted Loop Recorder?

Heart Failure Question
Hello I am looking for some perspective I think. My husband was not treated for his AF and high heart rate for four weeks until I managed to get him to ignore the GP and go to A& E, He was diagnosed with heart failure (35%) and is now on 8 different drugs. He had a follow up procedure booked (cardioversion

Atrial Septal Defect
I remember being told that I had a
heart
murmur
but no-one ever explained why. I'm now waiting to have the hole closed at St Thomass but the pandemic is delaying things. Ive been told that the hole is suitable to close by a catheter.

Post ablation arrhythmia
I am almost 4 months post ablation for atrial fibrillation. Whilst jogging after my daughter, who was on her scooter, I had an odd heart episode. It may have been AF, but it felt like it could also have been ectopics combined with sinus rhythm - my heart was already beating quite fast, which made it

Well, It's always something new and fun
Hey All.... Well, I have PAF and had a echocardiogram the first time in some years (new cardiologist, etc). So...discovered I have mitral valve leakage (regurgitatuon). It's moderate at this point with a EF of 60%. Hope that some others may have experience with this "combo". What has your journey

Anyone else tried it!
Had an appointment with Arrythmia nurse today. In AF when I arrived and picked up on ecg twice. My episodes are getting closer together and Flecainide at 100 x2 is no longer holding them. I am wondering if slowly weaning myself off it and going permanent will be a better bet. All thoughts gratefully

Sliding into persistent Afib
Hello I am on Flecaine 200 ( slow release) and 3.75 Bisoprolol. I usually get episodes 1 or 2 times a month the longest lasting between 5 an7 hours which self resolve. However last Saturday/Sunday night at 2 in the morning I popped into Afib. This lasted until in 1 pm the next day. I was a bit wiped
