Nervous about upcoming bypass surgery
Hello all. I’ve got heart bypass scheduled soon and worries are creeping in. It’s all happened really fast with me being in my early 40s and fairy active. Then being told post angiogram that a triple bypass is needed (mainly due to genetics I’m told). Any advice would be great.

"Remodelling" of the heart
A member has lately said that the MDs have advised him to go for an ablation as soon as possible (he is in his 50-ties) in the course to prevent "remodelling" of the heart. I do believe in their good intention, but am puzzled if that really is so. The normal heart operation is with the coooperation

Metoprolol
I have a CT angiogram tomorrow at 0830 and have been given two tablets of Metoprolol (50mg) to take 12 hrs and then 2hrs before the procedure. This is apparently to slow the heart down (to below 60bpm). I rang the hospital and told them that I already take Sotalol and my heart rate is generally slow

Alcoholic liver disease is a strong predictor of colorectal polyps in liver transplant recipients
In January this year, following a routine blood test by my GP. It highlighted low ferritin levels. After having completed a Fit-Test (faecal haemoglobin test), blood was found in the sample. I later went and had a CT Colonography. This highlighted four polyps in my colon. After a lot of messing around

supra-arterial myotomy
hello has anyone had this heart surgery? It seems to be more available in US but not so in UK. Technically it’s cutting the heart muscle open to release the (most common) LAD which grew inside the heart muscle instead of on the surface of the heart during pregnancy so is a congenital heart defect (myocardial

Travel insurance within the UK.
I'm travelling from Essex to Belfast next month and am looking for travel insurance. With belfast being in the UK I wonder if I actually need cover anyway. I am over 200 days post stem cell transplant and it will be my first time travelling abroad as such since the start of covid in 2020. I am considering

Never Ending
I was only diagnosed a week ago, after a weekend of being in AFib, went to the ER. Confirmed. It's been non stop ever since. I am now on Xarelto and Metoprolol 50 x2 a day. NO relief. Most of my ECG readings show heart rate around 130-140. BP mostly ok--a bit high, but not awful. I find myself

AF taking a different direction??
Had an AF attack yesterday and it was terminated after 3 hours with my PIP 200 mg Flecainide and half a metoprolol tablet. This is about average and I have attacks every 7 to 10 days. After a few hours rest I went for a walk but didn’t feel great, lethargic and generally off par. I kept checking my apple

Back on the transplant list
Yesterday I returned to the lung transplant waiting list after an enforced break due to my Dad picking up his second bout of Covid. Fortunately, Lauren and I didn't get it, too. We've all been doing regular testing and we must have caught Dad's covid very early before he could unwittingly pass it on.
