New Anticoagulant looks promising
There's a new anticoagulant that's in trials on people with AF. It appears to cause minimal bleeding. This is an extract from a Times article: Blood clot treatment may help reduce hospital deaths Tom Whipple, Science Editor Tuesday July 20 2021, 12.01am, The Times Blood clots are responsible for one

AV block and Supraventricular tachycardia runs...
Hi everyone, Am fairly new here (diagnosis mid April) and my first post ... but have been reading you all lots and it has really helped me understand things and be less anxious, and you all sound so nice :). I have a question I would be so grateful if any of you could shed some light on what it means

LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM (Generic) by Sigma Pharm (T3) contains Mannitol - What?
Hi all, I've started using T3 and I got the 5mcg pills from Sigma Pharm. I've just looked up what's in them and found that they contain mannitol. So I've googled mannitol and not found anything that goes to explaining why it should be in my T3 pills. I'm a bit freaked out at some of the uses listed

Kardia different reading to normal. Being Normal Sinus. Today’s reading: Sinus Rhythm with PVentricular Contractions. HR also higher today?
Kardia reading different to normal. Usually Normal Sinus. Today it reads: Sinus Rhythm with Premature Ventricular Contractions. My heart rate, although 80-90 heart beats per minute is within normal range it is still higher than the 60-70 it has been since I started on Bisoprosol. I also feel hot and

I still feel depressed a year after surgery. Can anyone suggest ways of overcoming this please?
I had open heart surgery last year which was a shock as I had not realised I was unwell. Now recovered I still have feelings of panic and inadequacy and feel much less confident. Has anyone else gone through this?

Hi everyone I am new here and I am so glad to have found this forum. I am 65 and never had a heart problem in my life until March this year. I was at work and had a heart attack. While in hospital I had another heart attack. I was moved to another hospital where I had an angiogram and angioplasty

Can't seem to get anywhere
I may or may not be able to get any answers here. I might not even be in the right place. I'm a 53 year old male and back in 2015 my thyroid swelled up quite a bit. I was referred to my local hospital endocrinology. Where a large amount off brown liquid was drained. At the same time I developed alopecia

Not breathless but more wheezy.
As i've posted before my first bouts of Afib were after my Open Heart Surgery for a Thoracic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm in April 2019 whilst in hospital. I had no real heart issues though. I had Afib again 3 weeks later when I was readmitted with pneumonia and sepsis. I then had tachycardia in Nov/Dec

Irregular heartrate
I had Open Heart Surgery twice in April 2019 to repair a Thoracic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm. Was in a months in total. After surgery I was in a month with infections and various bouts of AFIB. I was initially on Amiodarone. 3 weeks later I had other bouts of Afib brought on by Pneumonia and Sepsis.

Sauna.
I had my heart surgery a year ago. Repairing a thoracic aneurysm and replacing a bicuspid valve. My son is leaving home today and I was considering what to do with his room. He suggested I install an infrared sauna and I love the idea. It would certainly help to ease the osteoarthritis pain I've started

Driving after mitral valve replacement
Hello, I had my mitral valve replaced 5 weeks ago, and am trying to work out when I can drive. I think, but I can't quite remember, that before surgery they said 6 weeks after surgery, but my cardiac rehab nurse said on Monday that 4 weeks is ok, as long as I feel alright. Just phoned the car insurance

AFib or other arrhythmia??
Hi peeps, as some of you know, I was diagnosed with Afib last year. Prior to this, I had had another type of arrhythmia for many years and had been under a cardiology dept for nearly as long. My problem now is differentiating between Afib and the other arrhythmia. When I was first taken to hospital

Is twitching when sleeping a sign of AF?
My husband is 8 weeks post NSTEMI heart attack which brought on AFib, he has had 3 episodes of AF since two of which happened as he was sleeping and woke him. He never had AF before the heart attack. He now twitches and jerks in his sleep several times a week, he never used to before the heart attack

One year on.
My elective heart surgery went badly wrong and cost me an arm and a leg. I remember being told, while pinned to the bed, that, a year from now, I would be fully functioning again and happy with the benefits of my operation. Surgery to repair an aneurysm and replace a bicuspid valve is never going to
