how do you cope with waiting for heart surgery?
I was told I would need a new aortic valve nearly nine months ago. I know it will happen eventually but I’m getting fed up of feeling fairly lousy (I’m in heart failure) and the waiting. How do you keep yourself from getting too miserable? I feel as though my life is on hold as is my family’s.

Mammogram appointment - will it hurt?
I am now 8 months post mitral valve repair via open heart surgery. Everything has healed well but the thought of the mammogram is making me shudder. Anyone out there had one so recently after surgery? Thank you.

Triple Bypass surgery
Hi everyone after being informed back in July that I have severe multi vessel coronary artery disease I was informed yesterday that I need a triple heart bypass.

Anticoagulant switching
There have been a few post recently about pressure to switch from apixaban to other anticoagulants. I’ve been on apixaban for a number of years now and so far not been asked to change. However my 92 year old father in law, who has chronic kidney problems, has just been given edoxaban instead of his

As you lovely people were so kind reassuring and helpful during my recent meltdown, I thought I’d let you know what happened today. I had an echo and then an ecg after which I was seen by a very nice cardiologist for results. The high BNP is due to persistent AF, my heart remarkably in good shape with
