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

mitral valve regurgitation and AF
Hello . I was diagnosed with mild to moderate MVR last November . No symptoms other than slight breathlessness . Yesterday on another echocardiogram I was informed I have AF - no symptoms at all . It has made me very anxious . Has anyone else experience of both ? I am 57 , very very fit , not overweight

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

INR control
Hi don't know if this is of any interest to anyone ,but my INR has always been impossible to stabilize My heamatologist suggested taking a small dose of vitamin K and increasing the warfarin dose I didn't do this as don't want to be taking any more supplements, So I decided to massively increase my intake

Nailfold infection
I have my second nailfold infection in 2 months - it is proving difficult to resolve and a few days ago a telangectasia bled profusely for no reason. Is this connected to my Systemic Sclerosis or just a coincident. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Some good news at last.
Some good news at last. Saw EP for 6 week follow up, 2 weeks ago, reduced Bisoprolol to 1.25mg but continue with heart failure meds and booked echocardiogram which I had yesterday. Sonographer was lovely, very chatty, I had my previous report from Late January 24 with me, Ejection Fraction 28%, severe

Post op mitral valve
Hi I had a mitral valve replacement in March. The op went as expected but the next day I went into cardiac arrest and had to be reopened on the spot, after getting my heart beating again i was put in an induced coma for a few days til I was able to be brought out of it. It has left me with many triggers

Running capacity after mitral valve replacement
I had mechanical mitral valve replacement surgery last year. On Warfarin and Bisoprolol 5mg.I did a 5K parkrun yesterday in 31m 35s. I feel I had more in my locker to reduce race time further. Considering I have mechanical mitral valve and taking beta blocker Bisoprolol, how much further can I physically

Warfrin and flying
Hi, off on holiday for the first time since a stent and mitral valve replacement and being given Warfrin, I love to fly and this is only a 4 hour flight. I’ve waited a year before taking a flight. I’m excited and scared all rolled into one. INR is stable. I know in my heart I’m going to be ok, but

Hi, Does anyone have post surgery heart flutters.? I am ten weeks post surgery and still having palpitations/flutters, told I am not in a fib and it is just the heart settling down but it does scare me! also makes me feel a bit giddy. Have others had similar after valve replacement?

Return of the Duck. The Saga Continues.......
Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Well, here's the promised update from a couple of years ago but to be fair, nothing much had happened on the heart surgery front, I'd been in nsr and I have still been contributing replies. Settle down with a strong drink of choice,

Edwards Inspiris Resilia tissue valve- People's experiences with this?
Hi All! I'm aware that there's only limited number of people who have this valve, as from what I gather it isn't offered at many hospitals as a treatment option. But is there anyone here who has had a Edwards Inspiris Resilia tissue valve replacement? I'm due to see my cadiac surgeon very soon to discuss

Weight-loss drugs/surgery after valve replacement?
Hi all, I'm a 34yo male with a massive eating problem, this has been ever since I've been an adult really, just a really poor relationship with food. I had my heart valve replaced with a mechanical one a couple of years ago (completely unrelated to weight, was a random infection on the valve) and I

Abnormal ECG
So the arrhythmia team contacted me yesterday to discuss the result of my ECG done at my local surgery . Apparently although the test showed an an abnormal pattern with wide QRS it was a minimal deviation and not any form of AF . It could be an age related change but my sinus rhythm was normal and the
