Now he’s 34 and we have just heard he has to have the valve replaced with an onyx mechanical valve. This has to be done in the

How bad does it have to be before...
Oxygen. Thing is I have severe COPD (emphysema and bronchiectasis) at stage four. Last FEV1 32%. I am 78. Now I have also had arrhythmia and some oedema so I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure as well. But two echo- cardiograms showed a healthy heart, two E CGs have showed the rhythm is now

Update
I’m getting released today from the hospital. I had my defibrillator wire removed this past Wednesday. A very delicate procedure considering the wire has been in for 17 years. The wire has damaged my Tricuspid valve in my heart allowing blood to back up into my liver and cause cardiac cirrhosis. Hopefully

Excellent consultants visit!
Hospital visit went well. ECG done, Echocardiogram done. Saw the very nice consultant who said that they will be doing something to patch my holes! If possible they will use the umbrella like thing, but if it is too big/complex they will have to do open heart patching! I'm going for a cardio catherisation

Sanjay Gupta and anticoagulants
I just watched Sanjay Gupta's YouTube video on anticoagulants. He said it is not the Afib but the company it keeps that is responsible for a stroke therefore anticoagulation is only advised if you have other factors i.e high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure etc. If that is the case why are all

Covid booster
I've just been to have my covid booster and they refused to give it because I have had open heart surgery in August, said I could be at risk of inflammation around the heart, I now have to get advice from Cardiology Consultant to see if it is ok to have. Anyone else experienced this? I had Astra Zenica

Upcoming valve replacement surgery - Any advice?
I've recently learned I need to have Mitral Valve Replacement heart surgery, and am really scared. I was wondering if there is anybody else in this group who's undergone the procedure who could tell me a bit about the process, recovery and how you felt in the weeks/months after? Can you live a normal

Randomly feel cold - 18 months on from open heart surgery
I have days where I feel freezing and just can’t get warm. Is this normal for someone post open heart surgery

Update and question about verapamil
Quick update.....stopped flecainide and reduced verapamil. Feeling good and no afib, no SVT. Surprisingly blood pressure which was always good dropped (now 107/68), but Verapamil is meant to lower blood pressure. go figure. Only change I have made recently other than meds is use of taurine (close to

Low triiodothyronine levels correlate with high B-type natriuretic peptide levels in patients with heart failure
An association between low T3 and cardiac disorders. They appear to very responsibly avoid unwarranted conclusions - which came first? - but at least the question is being asked. [i] • Open Access • Published: 08 November 2021

It looks as if my dad will be discharged from hospital this week following a triple heart bypass op last week and I wondered if anyone could tell me when it's likely he'll be able to go for walks around his neighbourhood, etc? Will he be allowed to cook, make a cup of tea, etc? He lives on his own but

A decade on from heart failure diagnosis
Today marks ten years since I was unexpectedly diagnosed with heart failure at the tender age of 31. I remember back then being told by Dr "Death Knell" Google that I'd be dead within five years. [Nowadays I know Dr Google is an unqualified quack who knows nothing and likes to present worst case scenarios
