AF no longer a problem?
My first episode of AF was in 2014. The ambulance crew came to my house and clearly recorded atrial fibrillation which was confirmed after I was taken to hospital. The Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist put me on Apixaban. I was discharged a year later from his care. A year later I had a short hospital

Regular alternate irregular heartbeats, .75 sec then 1 sec continuous- is this AF or some variation?
Noticed this morning when getting ready for a group bike ride, that I had an arrhythmia - I was slightly breathless as I rushed around getting my kit together. As always, a quick check of the pulse shows my pulse is fast and irregular. Whip out the 1 lead Kardia and first off it says possible AF @ HR

Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
I caught a bad cold (tested negative for COVID) in November 2022 and on the day that started, I went into AFib. I wasn’t given any treatment because I was already on Warfarin due to my aortic valve replacement in March 2015. I finally saw a consultant about the AFib in May 2023 and was put on Isosorbide

Metoprolol as rate reducer with no affect on rhythm....
So after my last Holter showed 8500 episodes of SVT (Atrial Tachycardia) in 14 days, with a 19% burden of Atrial Ectopy and 11% burden of tachycardia, my EP recommended an echo (which was normal, thankfully), starting Metoprolol, and Eliquis, while I wait for another ablation. I have tried, and failed

Quivering sensations
I hope you are all wellMy question : Has anyone experienced episodic "quivering" sensations that are very brief, 10 seconds or so? I've had something similar before, several years ago and wore a Zio patch for 2 weeks but never picked up any A-fib only PACs and PVCs. I am now 67 year old dx with paroxsymal

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Technology question
We went away for the weekend . I was aware of tachycardia in the night ( only lasted few minutes) I always try to capture any palpitations if I can. This was the wee small hours so all electrical equipment was switched off . A tv , two phones and chargers, several lamps. I was about 22 feet away from

New and unexpected diagnosis of an atrial septal defect
As my cardiologist said ‘we only know the heart we have’ but if mine is working twice as hard as a “normal”
heart
then perhaps I would notice a big difference post
surgery
.

where is the funding?
I ended up needing emergency open
heart
surgery
, both kidneys shut down, I lost peripheral vision in one eye, and I suffered a possible mild stroke. In the matter of a few hours my life changed. I experienced several losses, and learned that what I thought I knew professionally, I didn’t.

Thorocentecis
Hi guys....a recent CT scan showed some pleural effusion but nothing else...no nodes, growths or nodules, and a blood test showed no heart failure.I have to have the fluid removed on Monday and I'm bricking it already. I don't make a very good patient; former nurse; and I'm a wuss when it comes to pain

Yearly blood test
I take it many of you have reached the time when you are having your yearly blood test after heart bypass. I just wondered how conclusive and accurate you have found the results.

How do I know if I'm fixed? Calling all runners!
Hi, I'm a 59 year old male who's been running (Half and full Marathon) for about 12 years (previously a regular swimmer and cyclist). I've always been fit and lived what I thought was a healthy lifestyle, never smoked, little alcohol, avoided fast foods, minimal red meat, mostly chicken and fish. I

Dilated Cardiomyopathy/ Heart Transplant
I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy in November 2022 after suffering shortness of breath and always being tired and breathless. I quickly deteriorated and when I went back to see my Cardiologist in January I was told I was now critical and needed to be admitted and put on the urgent transplant
