AFIB caused heart failure?
Hello, my 76 year old mom was hospitalized a month ago after feeling very sick and ended up having to be intubated in the ICU for a day because her lungs were full of fluid - she had heart failure with an EF of 15%. She has had afib for over 17 years and had an ablation done when she was first diagnosed

Sometimes the solution is simple !
Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

Small thyroid gland question......
What does it mean if your Free Thyroxine is low (10.8 pmol/L - 12 - 22 R ) and your Thyroid is small ? My Dr is telling me he is unable to except my recent private blood tests which is annoying as I sent bloods of to MediChecks only this morning to check my Thyroid Antibodies which are normally

Anxiety & Heart failure
hello all. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for ages. My anxiety has been much worse in the past few years. Now I’ve been diagnosed with heart failure and can’t tell when my chest pain is because of my anxiety or my heart. Anyone out there on same boat? 😬🤔

AF & AV node ablation confusion
Hi,So I have had pace n ablate, pacemaker dependent also have HF. Does anyone know if you can still be in AF after AV node ablation and pacemaker dependent? I was informed by a doctor after a recent visit to A&E that due to AV node ablation and being dependent on a pacemaker that AF shouldn't occur

pacemaker
There is a forum, I think, for pacemaker discussion, however I couldn't figure out how to ask question on that forum. Many of you have pacemakers so maybe you can answer my question. My pacemaker is working about 85% of the time and keeps my heart rate at 60bpm. Lately I have been getting extremely

Is AF HF ?
Hi. I have a questionnaire to fill in prior to a cardiac MRI which asks if I suffer from heart failure (HF). I thought HF was a generic term but on reading a post on this forum I am confused/wrong . My cardiologist tells me I am in permanent AF with an ejection fraction of 42%. He has not mentioned

Does persistent/constant afib lower the heart ejection fraction?
Newbie question - it hadn’t even occurred to me but if one (aka my husband) has persistent/constant afib (and he has constant atrial flutter also we think) will that most likely impact the heart ejection fraction? I mean now I think about it it seems logical that if the heart isn’t contracting and

How is AF and Heart Failure linked?
Although the term heart failure can sound ‘scary’ it does not mean that your heart is about to stop working! Although heart failure can be a serious condition, it only means your heart is not working as efficiently as it should be and that it needs a little help to make it work better. For further

Some good news at last.
Some good news at last. Saw EP for 6 week follow up, 2 weeks ago, reduced Bisoprolol to 1.25mg but continue with heart failure meds and booked echocardiogram which I had yesterday. Sonographer was lovely, very chatty, I had my previous report from Late January 24 with me, Ejection Fraction 28%, severe

Alchoholic liver failure
My 55 year old brother has been diagnosed with alcoholic
liver
failure
and we are at our wits end. He has been an inpatient for 10 days and the communication has been awful. Since he was admitted his condition has gone downhill.

Persistent afib treatment options, can't tolerate Amiodarone - so many questions...
I'm feeling rather lost at sea, I have so many unknows and questions so I'm sorry if this is a bit messy. Think I'm looking for your experiences and help with what I should ask the cardiologist about/for. BTW we live in the England so NHS. In short... Persistent new onset afib (always bradycardia) since

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post this morning about the Daily Mail’s sensational heading re AF the silent killer. There will always be differing views on this subject.

Tired all of the time now.,,
I am sorry if I am repeating myself but all though I am 80 years old, up until this winter I was fully independent, I drive a car, and I could work a small allotment. I am now becoming breathless without exertion and I tend to nap anytime that I sit down. I have seen a Cardiologist this month and am

An EP’s view on atrial fibrillation after his own experience
The lecture of EP John Mandrola’s testimonial made a huge difference when I was first diagnosed with the condition. The man knows what he’s talking about, because not only is he an experienced electrophysician, but he also experienced AF himself. I love to share his thoughts with this wonderful group

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
