Bypass needed???
Hi all, my husband had a severe heart attack a few months back. They gotten a stent and we were advised that two of the main arteries were still severely diseased and he would need a bypass with open heart surgery. All the doctors we spoke to agreed that the severity of disease meant a bypass. When

Checking pulse daily hugely beneficial
When my GP diagnosed AFib I was given Bisopropol 😔 swiftly changed to Nebivolol and Apixaban and for weeks I just felt rotten most of the time. I then subscribed to technology which gave me unlimited reports on what my heart was up to at any time of the day or night. Reports were consistently showing

Heart Issues but otherwise healthy
Hi all, I live in the Panhandle of Florida. I am fairly active even though I have an artificial heart valve and a pacemaker. I try to stay healthy by eating the right foods and limiting vitamin K to keep my INR stable but every now and then, I have a question about diet and INR results.

Valve replacement
I was 29 when I had my first heart surgery. Never knew I had a problem prior to that. I was terrified. I subsequently had mitral & aortic valves replaced aged 36. I had mechanical valves put in which was 25 years ago. Still going strong and was a complete life changer. Wait till you are on the other

Dronederone
Hi all Two months ago I was prescribed 400mg Dronederone twice daily to slow down the frequency of AF episodes and also their duration. These were coupled with 5mg Bisoprolol and my usual Apixiban. Sunday evening at 7pm an episode started and as I write Tuesday 11am still ongoing. So it would seem this

AV Node Ablation
80 years old in Sept and still plagued by afib. Pacemaker fitted in May 2021 and awaiting next step which I’m sure will be AV node ablation – last stop saloon! But is this the only option? The last ablation in 2013 lasted 5 years and possibly longer if severe Mitral regurgitation hadn’t triggered it.

Coping with what could have been
My husband has recently been very ill and had a liver transplant which is working wonderfully. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened if he had not had the transplant. He had sepsis in March and almost died and was going downhill fast just before his transplant. I'm driving myself crazy

Pulse thumping post valve replacement
Im 4 months post op from biological aortic valve/conduit replacement. I realize im early on, and fortunate, but can anyone share if they have experienced the bass drum pounding pulse, near continously, after tissue aortic valve replacement. Does it go away and if you had any success in minimizing it

Stopped the flecainide and verapamil 2 months after procedure as advised by surgeon and need to say it feels

Different AF Types
I have noticed that I get two types of AF periods. One is where my heart goes into an irregular beat but stays within the normal pulse rate. The other is where it jumps to around 160bpm and is irregular. Is there a difference in the two and how long can you leave the high heart rate before thinking

4 month old with VSD
I found out just over a week ago that my baby girl, who is a twin born in March 2021, has a large VSD - and now requires heart surgery for it. I know that I should feel better that I keep reading that it’s a routine procedure etc etc but I cannot help but feel dread, worry, anxiousness to name but
