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

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

Ramipril I was prescribed ramipril 2.5 mg to start for high blood pressure but it didn’t touch it . Was put up to 10mg which has helped , though have read this dose is for heart attacks or heart surgery . Anyone else on a high dose ?

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

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
