Atrial clip
Anyone had an atrial clip fitted or know anything about them. I have recently had open heart surgery for leaky valve and surgeon's assistant told me afterwards we have also done an atrial clip as you have had AF in the past. From what I can see on the Internet it prevents you ever having a stroke from

The Melody Study
Dear All, have you been asked about The Melody Study, into COVID immunity? If not then Do ask- your Doctors/ Consultants or even your GP. I 'qualify' BOTH as a Vasculitis Patient and a 'Solid' Organ Recipient (I had a Kidney Transplant, in July 2013). The Test is, relatively 'easy' to do, a small Finger

Spirinolactone question
I am on the liver transplant waiting list (6m and counting.) Last year I was put on spirinolactone to deal with ascites, which it has done very efficiently, however, I have just had a call from the specialist's secretary asking me to stop taking it... I will keep an eye on my weight and any swelling

Flec only
Hi Motov. I take flec daily and use it as a PIP when I get an AF episode.

My AF episodes settled into a pattern after
