Double bypass
Had a double bypass on the 13th May. All went well and my wounds have healed really well and now discharged back into the care of my GP. My problem is my very low mood and my anger. I'm extremely sad to the point of crying nearly every single day. Then out of the blue I become very angry at the slightest

Aortic biological valve Edwards carpentier perimount
Had open heart surgery in 2017 new biological aortic valve I was 63 when this was done but do not know how long this will last and will have to another one. I wondered if anyone else could let me know if they had this operation.

Abscess on aortic root
Has anyone here had surgery for an abscess on the aortic root? My husband has been told that he needs surgery to drain the abscess, but no-one has explained what type of surgery. Is it possible that he will need open heart surgery again (he already had it earlier this year for an aortic valve and root

Edoxaban or Apixaban.
On Friday last week I noticed my left arm was a bit swollen and by Sunday a lot swollen so I decided to consult the NHS website and ended up being directed to NHS 111 and then to "make an urgent appointment to see your GP".

High respiratory efforts in COVID-19 patients could result in self-inflicted lung injury
The impact of high breathing efforts on the lungs of patients suffering with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 has been investigated by researchers at the University of Warwick, who assessed the likelihood of resulting lung injury. Although mechanical ventilation is a life-saving intervention

1 Year On - Not How I Expected Things To Be
1 year ago, last night, I was taken by Ambulance to the local A&E, from which I was admitted to the local Cardiology Ward, for the second time in a few months, and after being told I needed an operation fairly soon if I was to survive. Within the week I was transferred to Essex CTC where I was to undergo

Trigger (Not only fools and horses)
I have been trying for months to establish a trigger that sets off attacks of AF. I’m lucky at present that I’m only on blood pressure and anti coagulative medication as the attacks are short lived and are around every two to three weeks. I realise that they will increase over time which is similar

Abnormal ecg
Hi everyone, I have been having a few symptoms, which I’ve posted about previously - tight chested, lightheaded, dizzy and feeling like I’m not getting enough air. Today the dr wanted an ecg to be done, it was done by a nurse who then took the results to be looked at by the dr. When she came back
