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

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

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

Pain is killing me

Then just over a year ago I had womb cancer and had a total hysterectomy but now with my nerve damage I am in

moderate mitral regurgitation
my echo said I had moderate mitral regurgitation. I have been short of breath and fatigued. My EP has me on Flecainide for A Fib but read you shouldn’t take it if your heart is not structural sound. Does moderate mitral regurgitation qualify as not having a structural sound heart. Tried to look it up

Advice re recovery - please!
My next door neighbour recently had triple heart bypass surgery + a replacement aortic valve & he has AF. He is very breathless still but had a blood & short iron transfusion a few days ago because his blood count was very low (he looked terribly pale). He isn't sleeping & keeps having bad dreams. Is

Can medication be reduced after a certain time with no problems?
In 2012 I had a heart attack which resulted in the insertion of a stent, fortunately prompt treatment meant there was no major damage to my heart, although I started getting AF attacks in 2016. In 2017 I started taking 100mg of Flecainide and this was successful in stopping my AF attacks. In 2020 I

Should I switch from Riveroxaban to Apixaban?
I'm a 64 yr old male and have paroxysmal AF. 3 years ago my cardiologist put me on Riveroxaban as well as Flecainide.I have not had any issues with Riveroxaban but seeing all the comments,I was wondering whether I should switch to Apixaban given that it is better for gastric bleeding.
