Tricuspid repair/replacement
Hello everyone, my tricuspid valve was damaged in the course of ablation some years ago. I found out last year that my heart is no longer coping well and my valve needs repair. Are there any, women in particular, who have had open heart surgery or valve repair that can offer any advice or information

Post op scar
Hi, So I had my heart valve replacement surgery just over 6 weeks ago. My arms and chest ache at times but generally I'm ok. Ive read on paperwork it says about not putting cream on scar after surgery. Did anybody put bio oil or something like on after a while to help with healing. Thanks Tammy

Reduction in blood thinners
My Mam had a double heart bypass in July 2019 after CA and many HAs over a 6 year period. Her body just didnt like her stents! She has recovered well and is doing more more than I've seen her do in years, which is great. She has had her blood thinners removed from her med list, however is still on aspirin

Covid vaccine list
If I have previously had a quintuple heart bypass where do I sit on the nhs rollout list for the COVID vaccine?. I have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease.

Is there no pattern to this AFIB stuff?
My episodes have increased to almost once a month which is very disappointing because they used to be almost a year apart. I go to emergency & get chemically converted. PIPs have not worked. Last year, an IV of metoprolol (beta blocker) got me back into normal sinus rhythm, but the last couple of times

Unexpected Fast AF
I posted earlier about some AF which started this morning at 0130. I took various Kardia readings and discovered that the heart was beating at about 75-85 bpm for several hours. When I got up at about 0900, however, the reading shot up to 146 bpm, then, very surprisingly, 10 minutes later after taking

NIDDUK quote - link between diabetes type 2 and stroke
People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease at a younger age than people without diabetes. In adults with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart disease and stroke. Adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes.2.

Afib or PACS
My afib/flutter has been well controlled in recent months with Tikosyn and propranolol and my year old pacemaker but the past few evenings following dinner I have had episodes of very brief tachycardia. I wear an apple watch so have quickly checked and can see jump to 120 and last night 150. They are

i'm very lightheaded most of the time. Could it be apixaban? Or is it normal for Parkinsons? my GP says try Dabigatran.
ive been on Apixaban (5 mg x 2 daily) since 2016 for Afb after my stroke and subsequent major heart surgery - fine, my bloods are very healthy. I'm fighting PD with exercise, food and meditation etc. I have good days, bad days but the light headedness is around most of the time. I am 78 and weigh 50kilos
