Open heart surgery
I had my first meeting with the surgical team at Papworth yesterday . I’m now pencilled in for an aortic valve replacement in June. We discussed my AF , the effects of surgery on episodes after and anticoagulants . Interestingly they stated that oral anticoagulants reduce the risk of stroke by 60/70%

open Heart Surgery
hi. I was born with a hole in the heart but it was not detected until I was 32 namely 34 years ago. I had open heart surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital in 1984. It went well and recovery was quick. It takes time to build up stamina to return to normal. By the time you leave hospital you should be able

Ramdom flips from bradycardia to tachycardia.
First Post. Hi everyone I'm a 64 year old male livng in Yorkshire, England. I first became aware of issues with my heart over 40 years ago, my wife noticed my heart would miss a beat every now and again. At some point a doctor told me I had an ectopic beat and that it wasn't anything to worry about,

Most effective ablation method?
I am scheduled to have open heart surgery (OHS) to replace my aortic valve and while my chest is open the surgeon said they believe it would be a good time to perform a Maze ablation for my persistent afib. FYI: I was diagnosed with afib and tach back in 2008 - both were controlled well with flecainide

Preparing for Open Heart surgery
So last year I was diagnosed with a 2cm ASD and was awaiting surgery on the 5th January via catheter. To my shock I was called on the 3rd to be told there had been a mistake and they had realised I also had PAPVD and was now going to be having open heart surgery. I’m still going through tests and am

ra associated eye ulcers
hi everyone, I posted in this community quite a while ago about an ulcer in my eye which the rheumatologist said was caused by the ra. At the time, I was given some very helpful advice and information by Kags1068. Since then, I have had 4 more ulcers (my eyes take it in turns), and am currently in week

The use of thyroid hormone liothyronine in patients with heart failure - Another Pearce-linked Trial
Fascinating seeing these words in the context of a medical trial: [i]

[/i] [i]Liothyronine (T3) is a safe tablet and has few side effects because it is a synthetic version of triiodothyronine, a naturally occurring hormone

Severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy with heart failure - and now AF - anyone else out there like me?
I have severe dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure but had been doing well despite the inner chaos. I played tennis 5 times a week, kicked a football with my children, took long walks, and was able to run up the stairs to my flat. After the metapneumovirus triggered AF 6 weeks ago I stopped being

PAF … ? Further echo
Hi all, I’ve been quiet on the group for a while now as after my horrible introduction to rapid AF 18 months ago prompting a couple of stays in CCU things have settled on meds. The cardiologist has discharged me back to the Gp , apart from ectopics & odd thumps/ bumps I am well on adizem & flecanide

coccyx pain
hello, I’m having issues with coccyx pain and am wondering whether it’s another exciting (😒) symptom of FA. I’m still ambulatory so not a wheelchair user but am having the problem when sitting on an upright chair- so I’m avoiding doing that as much as I can but it’s not always possible. I bought a

Aortic Stenosis and Angina
hi I had an echocardiogram in August and got the result in September . The local hospital has been tasked with doing further tests and paperwork before handing me over to Leeds which is apparently the best hospital around for cardiac care . I have now had 48 hour ECG plus a CT angiogram which included

Krebs Cycle
Has anyone’s heard of the Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle? It’s a series of biochemical reactions that happen in the mitochondria and is critical for the formation of energy. Krebs has a book called “The Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy”. The cycle converts NADH to NAD

Prolia
I have just received an email from my GP who has arranged for a F2F appointment to see me beginning January to discuss me starting to take Prolia. My last Dexascan in 2021 did show that I have osteoporosis, and I did take Alendronic Acid for the first two years of having Polymyalgia. Since then I have

Adderall & Venlafaxine - drug merry-go-round
I have to work and support my teens/20s kids (8yrs separated single parent with absent co-parent - he has
mental
health
issues). It had little effect. Doses were increased over a multi-month period until I couldn't walk or think straight (and definitely shouldn't drive).
