New to Apixaban
Having been diagnosed with Arrhythmia, I will shortly start taking 5mg Apixaban twice a day. This causes me much concern. Will I be able to lead a normal life, eg play golf, go abroad on holiday etc and will I be able to have a couple of glasses of wine each day? I am currently a regular social drinker

Aortic valve replacement
My beautiful boy was born with Aortic stenosis. He’s had to valvuloplasties one when he was 12 and the other when he was 16. The latter left his valve leaking but he’s been ok. Now he’s 34 and we have just heard he has to have the valve replaced with an onyx mechanical valve. This has to be done in the

How bad does it have to be before...
Oxygen. Thing is I have severe COPD (emphysema and bronchiectasis) at stage four. Last FEV1 32%. I am 78. Now I have also had arrhythmia and some oedema so I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure as well. But two echo- cardiograms showed a healthy heart, two E CGs have showed the rhythm is now

Update
I’m getting released today from the hospital. I had my defibrillator wire removed this past Wednesday. A very delicate procedure considering the wire has been in for 17 years. The wire has damaged my Tricuspid valve in my heart allowing blood to back up into my liver and cause cardiac cirrhosis. Hopefully

Sanjay Gupta and anticoagulants
I just watched Sanjay Gupta's YouTube video on anticoagulants. He said it is not the Afib but the company it keeps that is responsible for a stroke therefore anticoagulation is only advised if you have other factors i.e high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure etc. If that is the case why are all

Ramipril high dose
Ramipril I was prescribed ramipril 2.5 mg to start for high blood pressure but it didn’t touch it . Was put up to 10mg which has helped , though have read this dose is for heart attacks or heart surgery . Anyone else on a high dose ?

Covid booster
I've just been to have my covid booster and they refused to give it because I have had open heart surgery in August, said I could be at risk of inflammation around the heart, I now have to get advice from Cardiology Consultant to see if it is ok to have. Anyone else experienced this? I had Astra Zenica

Update and question about verapamil
Quick update.....stopped flecainide and reduced verapamil. Feeling good and no afib, no SVT. Surprisingly blood pressure which was always good dropped (now 107/68), but Verapamil is meant to lower blood pressure. go figure. Only change I have made recently other than meds is use of taurine (close to

Low triiodothyronine levels correlate with high B-type natriuretic peptide levels in patients with heart failure
An association between low T3 and cardiac disorders. They appear to very responsibly avoid unwarranted conclusions - which came first? - but at least the question is being asked. [i] • Open Access • Published: 08 November 2021
