John Radcliffe waiting times for surgery
Hi. I’m waiting for heart surgery valve repair (hopefully) at Oxford Radcliffe. Been waiting 4 months. No idea of when they will get round to me. Get very vague responses. Anyone else on a list at the JR waiting longer than this? Thanks

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) vs Heart Attack
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) vs Heart Attack
The difference between a sudden cardiac arrest is an 'electrical' malfunction in the heart - causing it to stop beating. A heart attack is a 'plumbing' problem when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked preventing oxygen rich blood reaching

Aortic valve replacement
Good morning , I’m now on the waiting list at Papworth for surgery following my latest echo and review with my cardiologist.

Organ Donation for Transplant and Research
This post is talking about Organ Donation upon Death, so please take care to choose to read on further.
I recently went down to the Blood and Transplant Service Head Office in Bristol and attended a workshop on the importance of organ research. There were four of us fellow liver transplantees

starting home dialysis
Hi. I am 49 years old. I am getting the catheter put in my stomach in 2 weeks, so that I can do the home dialysis. Is it called PD? I forget what it's called. But it's the one I do when I'm sleeping. I feel like there is just no support or help to prepare for this. My insurance has some place

Flecainide and SVTs/Ectopic burden
Hello Everyone I wrote a Post here last March as we were worried about the choices being offered to my Husband for the management of his PAF (anticoagulant, pacemaker, ablation). Many of you kindly answered our questions and gave us the benefit of your experience and my Husband felt pretty confident

Pulse field abation
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before but just wondering about those who have had pulse field ablation. How did you feel afterwards? Recovery time? And most importantly, did it work? Last question, if it did won’t - how was your AF before it? I’ve had one failed cardioversion, 4 failed ablations

Open Heart Surgery Ahead…
Born with a bicuspid valve, I guessed this day was coming…just not so soon! I will be 56 when they open my chest on August 15th. I would much rather have the TAVR procedure but at my age the long term planning doesn’t support that method at this time. So, OHD it is. I have significant procedural anxiety

Can Afib turn into an irregular heart beat instead ?
Hi All The reason I say this is that I do not get elevated beats per minute I am always in the range of 75 to 95 Yet my watch still says I have AF and when my pulse is taken it is irregular So I wonder if there are different types of AFib ? Otherwise feel 100% ok I am on anti-rat apixaban and

Am I supposed to take this in the morning?
In an email with my Electro-physiologist today, he referred to my continuing to take the long acting metoprolol (metoprolol succinate, 25mg once a day) in the morning. In the past, I’ve taken it in the morning, and as my personal schedule changed, I am taking it now in the late evening. No matter

Breathlessness- pollen or something else?
I just wanted to ask if anyone else has been experiencing more breathlessness with the weather change. My mum has Permanent AF with heart failure. She’s had bisoprolol increased in February this year from 3.75mg once a day to the same dose twice a day. We had a GP appointment last week which I asked

Amiadarone side effects
I have been on Amiadarone and a whole host of other drugs since late February, when I had cardiogenic shock followed by a cardiac arrest. In the past few weeks I have developed a blocked tear duct with bleeding from it, and a very nasty, lumpy, red and sore-feeling rash on my hands and lower arms which

Best chair type for recovery

Kardia. An alternate way to use it.
I think Kardia is a great home device and own four of their models. However, from experience and after reading many posts here, it seems that how you use Kardia can often be the difference between it being helpful device that helps diagnose and manage arrhythmia's, and a device that causes more stress

Eating Nuts for Heart Health
If you are interested in eating nuts to improve your health, look up each one to see what vitamins or minerals it will supply and how many you should eat daily. It's important that nuts are 'really well chewed' and if you do that it will not effect pockets that may have formed in the bowel due to
