Mitral Valve Regurgitation?
Hi all! After seeing a cardiologist yesterday for the 3 month post Ablation check up....(just over a year after the procedure,) I'm told that during that procedure they found that I have a leak in one of the valves in my heart which has caused a slight murmer. Now, nobody told me any of this at the

southampton heartbeat house
Has anyone stayed at Heartbeat House in Southampton while a relative is having heart surgery? I sounds an amazing facility, but I did wonder what it was like to stay there.

Heart failure and Entresto anyone?
I have had AFib for 11 years did well on Multaq for the last 7 and all of a sudden it stopped working. Spent 4 days in the hospital and they told me I now have heart failure - cardiologist has recommended a pace and ablate in January and offered me Entresto but I hate to add new meds to my already mix

Some bad news…
I had a bypass a year ago and everything seemed to be going fairly well. I noticed a bit of chest pain in May but this seemed to pass over and the consultant wasn’t too concerned. However, two or three weeks ago I noticed some left-sided chest/arm/shoulder pain when cycling and this has got progressively

Diagnosis at last! Haemochromotosis?

Double dose of Apixaban this morning
Good morning My husband who has AF took 2 x 5mg Apixaban this morning instead of one! The leaflet with the tablets says if you take too many, you should contact your doctor immediately. I've phoned over to our surgery and told them and am awaiting a reply. I am a born worrier but he is so precious

Hello
Hi. So glad for this site. Newly diagnosed with a-fib, along with heart failure (diastolic). Walked into the emergency room here at local hospital Nov. 5th., thinking that I had a possible DVT because of on-going left leg swelling, after blood test and x-rays told I had a-fib which was the reason for

Groin pain from catheter ablation
Harefield hospital carried out an ablation for AF and flutter Jan 2023. There was a black area of my groin/thigh that was black. Since the operation I get a dull inner pain in my thigh going down my leg a few inches. This problem / annoyance does not effect my activities and I am only aware of it when

Since then we have discovered he has Atrial Fibrillation 1.9%of the time and so takes Edoxaban. Nurse at surgery yesterday sat for ages clutching his pulse before finally telling

Ross vs Mechincal valve
My son is going to be 21 in January and is on the list for his 4th open heart surgery. His last one was in 2013 where they performed the BROM. He has to decide between Ross or Mechincal. Both have pros and cons but and are higher risk as this will be his 4th but does he want to go Ross(15 to 20% risk
