Mitral valve replacement with tricuspid repair
I am trying to come to terms with facing open heart surgery shortly for severe
mitral
valve
disease
and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. I am 77 with other health issues and I am concerned about the length of time I'll need to recover.

Does the cold affect your chest
Cardiology have informed me that its normal to have a chesty cough with
mitral
valve
disease
and they are not sure why. Does anyone have any advise around what to do with the weather slowly getting a little colder? Hope I have worded this all correctly

Statins
Back in 2008, I was diagnosed with AFIB and, after an echo, was also told that I had a bicuspid aortic valve. An ablation in 2018 lasted only 8 months and I was soon back in afib and back on rhythm and rate meds. Fast forward to this past March when I got Covid and my paroxysmal afib turned to persistent

Losartan
Have been on Losartan 100mg for a long time and most mornings I seem to be often clearing my throat. I looked up on Google was this a symptom of the drug and read to my horror that Losartan had been recalled because of cancer scares! I haven't been told by the pharmacist of any such problem. I hope it

AF ‘paranoia’ - echocardiogram
I don’t really know what to call it but I’m suffering from the feeling you get when you’ve had a test, know the tester can’t tell you anything but are trying to work out whether they gave you a hint or not 🤔 I was just about to phone cardiology to ask whether my echo had been booked at all as I’d had

Lymphoproliferative disorder diagnosis following PET scan
My husband had his transplant in 2017. He has been ill for some time and had a PET scan 10 days ago. He has been diagnosed with Lymphoproliferative disorder. Does anyone know anything about this?

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

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

Open Heart Surgery Ahead
Born with a bicuspid valve I guessed this day was coming…just not so soon! I will be 56 when they open my chest on August 15th. I would much rather have the TAVR procedure but at my age the long term planning doesn’t support that method at this time. So, OHD it is. I have significant procedural anxiety

AF and MAD
anyone else have AF and MAD (mitral annular disjunction) . It was picked up during cardiac MRI. The displacement is 5mm, mild mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. Neither my cardiologist or EP have said anything about it apart from put me on another very long waiting list to see a more specialist

Portable air purifier for outdoor exercise with allergic asthma
It is the peak of spring allergy season here, as well as other great stuff like air pollution. So I just wanted to share the results of today's testing of my wearable air purifier for asthma. I am lucky to have wooded hills out of my door, so I do not have to scare people while walking there. The device

Heart Pain
I wonder if somebody can assist with a question. I'm a 46 year old with a minor mitral valve prolapse. Possible sinus nerve damage on the lower ventricle but minor. I'm not on medication. There is no known 'major' issue or treatment plan suggested by cardiologist. I am very fit with low heart beat. Have

INR readings
Can anyone explain INR reading and their importance please? My wife needs to be at a 1.8 but is currently at a 1.6. They've put her on a shot to raise her level but we're not sure what that really means. We're very new to this new lifestyle change. 1 week ago she had mitral valve replacement. Thanks

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
