BNP 1800
I have atrial fibrillation and my BNP tests that indicate risk of heart failure was 800 and is now 1700. The stats I have looked at are grim eg 80+% chance of death within 10 years and 50% for 5 years ( at around 2000 BNP near my numbers). Does anyone know if there is a treatment to lower BNP to under

This Week in Cardiology on Medscape - Heart Rate Monitors
Wearable HR Monitor Accuracy Canadian authors from Toronto and Calgary (first author Ryan Quinn) have a short but important research letter in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) regarding the accuracy of wearable HR monitors in sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Can you tell me what is this new symptom?
Hi once again. Just now I've noticed and felt a new type of heartbeat. My heartbeat was two beats -> pause -> two beats -> pause. Can someone tell what this is? I see a mention of bigeminy or pvc's. I'm currently almost a month post ablation. I didn't have afib episode since December. This is a first

Hubby feels rubbish 6 weeks after heart bypass
Hi everyone My hubby had a double bypass 6 weeks ago. He did very well initially, but it's 6 weeks now and he feels he's gone backwards. Still in pain with his chest, but now feeling more weak in his arms. Getting in and out of his chair is painful. He feels very unfit - top of the stairs and

worried in France
Good evening everyone. wishing everyone a peaceful Easter. I am in need of a little advice from you lovely people. Since last Friday, I have been experiencing irregular heartbeats and combined with occasional AF. At least I presume that’s what it is, very fast beats. I don’t really know how long I should

Scary visionary issues after valve replacement ….
Hi guys. I’m male, 67 and just had an aortic valve (tissue) replacement/dual bypass about 10 days ago. It’s going pretty well, a bit of expected sternum / leg pain, but just completed my first 20 min walk without getting too out if breath. Excercise is definitely good for breathing. What’s really freaking

What is normal after surgery and what isn't
My husband had stoma surgery two weeks ago and got home a week later. Since coming home he seems to be deteriorating not improving. On the advice of his stoma nurse, we are going to see the GP to get bloods taken, etc this morning. However, is it normal to go off your food, be scared to eat in case

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation converted back to sinus rhythm
Hi, I had a really awful Afib attack that resulted in a fast heart beat the other night. The morning after I took my medication and about an hour later my heart reverted back to sinus rhythm but for a few seconds I nearly passed out and remained very dizzy for the rest of the morning. It almost felt

open heart surgery for AF
hi My EP says did to my heart having an anatomical variant he was unable to do the ablation as he couldn’t get to the heart through the vein. He is now telling me my only option is open heart surgery. Sounds a bt drastic but has anyone had this procedure for AF. My af has gone from PAF to persistent

Positivity, trust and determination are the key to a good recovery after major open heart surgery.
I am an 86 year old female but my aorta with a 6cms aneurism and the valve were replaced. I kept positive and, touch wood, five months on I am independent and well.

Five weeks post Op
I am slowly feeling better, pain in the chest and discomfort in the back,left rib and sternum is still there but I know it will all fuse back together soon. I sometimes feel in my own world but present if you get what I mean. The one thing I have found difficult is the mood swings, I push myself to

wires
I am just enquiring if anyone else who has recently had open heart surgery, has a hole at the top of their scar. It appears like a hole but I have noticed wire sticking out (appears white) Just wondered if anyone has noticed this and what it could indicate.
