pacing wires
anyone had pacing wires poking up under the skin , I had one that came out completely and now I’ve got another one that’s poking up but that’s being taken out or cut short in a weeks time at the hospital . They can be quite painful at times when I’m working Anyone else had the same issue Oh for information

Is AF HF ?
Hi. I have a questionnaire to fill in prior to a cardiac MRI which asks if I suffer from heart failure (HF). I thought HF was a generic term but on reading a post on this forum I am confused/wrong . My cardiologist tells me I am in permanent AF with an ejection fraction of 42%. He has not mentioned

Does persistent/constant afib lower the heart ejection fraction?
Newbie question - it hadn’t even occurred to me but if one (aka my husband) has persistent/constant afib (and he has constant atrial flutter also we think) will that most likely impact the heart ejection fraction? I mean now I think about it it seems logical that if the heart isn’t contracting and

AF and Steroids
my sister diagnosed with AF. Not many events so far and is on Apixaban and bisoprolol 2.5mg. She tolerates this well but has recently been prescribed steroids for chronic pain. She has noticed an increase in heart rate and has had two episodes of AF this week which is unusual for her. Do you think the

Some do and some don't
I was diagnosed with AF and slightly enlarged heart chambers, earlier this year, which has turned out to be permanent AF 24hrs every day. On reading posts it seems different procedures are given for AF with varying success. I have been prescribed Apixaban in addition to bisoprolol. My pulse seems

Tachycardia after ablation
What is your level of endurance/exercise that you comfortably tolerate after ablation? I was working in the garden today, NOT exerting myself much at all and my heart rate was in the 130-140 range for very little effort. I chose to rest, but could have kept working. Is it better not to stress the heart

advice needed
Hi, I have been diagnosed with slow Atrial Fibrillation since October and still waiting to see a cardiologist. The doctors have given me Apixaban. I have struggled with the symptoms and seem to have episodes every other day especially in the early hours of the nights. I have had to cut hours down at

Atrial Bigeminy
I have searched through the posts about bigeminy and many of them are quite old. I recently had a successful ablation for atrial tachycardia, but now have most incessant atrial bigeminy. There seems to be some varied research out now about atrial bigeminy causing cardiomyopathy. Beta Blockers don't seem

full heart bypass
I have had a full heart bypass after just over 4 months waiting. I am now nearly 3 weeks post op. Nobody could have prepared me of how hard this is. I know I will feel better and I am getting stronger each day. The emotional rollercoaster is the worse. I am sad, angry and trying to be positive all at

How is AF and Heart Failure linked?
Although the term heart failure can sound ‘scary’ it does not mean that your heart is about to stop working! Although heart failure can be a serious condition, it only means your heart is not working as efficiently as it should be and that it needs a little help to make it work better. For further

2nd Ablation for Atrial Tachycardia
After months and months of misery, and my consult with a second EP,.I decided to proceed with a local ablation at Abbott in Minneapolis. I have Atrial Tachycardia/SVT and it has been a long road with no relief from meds, lots of side effects, rough sleep. It was a rough pre-op with my EP recommending

Pains after heart bypass
Hi, had double heart bypass 2 weeks ago and at least once a day I get pains in my neck and chest which ease when I walk about. I did have a partially collapsed lung whilst in hospital and wondered if this was something to do with it. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I’m seeing the cardiac

Do you find Doctors don’t physically examine you anymore ?
Had a heart bypass 4 years ago but since then I’ve had two unrelated problems that years ago would have entailed a physical examination- primarily by the doctor before a referral . Ok I’m a woman so I won’t go into the specific details . However I had to sign a form before the date of my referral giving

Apixaban
I have recently been prescribed Apixaban instead of Rivaroxaban. Just wondering if anyone has noticed increased heart palpitations? I'm not in full blown Afib but have had irregular heart now for 5 days, my heart rate is not abnormally high although probably a bit higher than is normal for me. Any

IVIG after heart surgery and stopping IBRUTIMIB
12 months ago I was on an Ibrutinib clinical trial for my CLL. Ibrutinib worked great for me for years. I found out I needed a triple bypass due to 95% LAD artery blockage. Not good! A stent wasn’t an option in my case due to necessity for blood thinners. Can’t do blood thinners, aspirin and Irbutinib
