More Challenges to Overcome!
Some of you may recall that for some years, I've frequently experienced ectopic beats. They've been calmed down with a lowish dose of a beta blocker (Propranolol) and don't usually give me too much cause for concern......until about a week ago when they re-emerged, but with a different manifestation

Apple watch and Kardia questions
I saw my cardiologist yesterday and we have agree although no AF yet (maybe A flutter) on 24hr ECG getting a watch and maybe a kardia is a good idea. I am planning to buy the watch and the local apple shop ( Edinburgh UK) and wanted to ask a few questions before hand. Ive read some on what the watch

Update on me/angiogram/contrast
A while back I wrote about how I had a blockage in my legs and would have to have an angiogram/plasty with contrast. My vascular doctor and nephrologist worked together and came up with they would hydrate me 4 hours before the procedure and 2 hours after, also the vascular would only use as much contrast

Samsung 6 smart watch
Does anyone use the BP and ECG facilities on a Samsung6 smart watch ? I occasionally get AF reading but my cardiologist says the results are unreliable.

Troponin

Post Ablation complications
Had persistent fast AFib since Nov 23, decided to go private route as my health was deteriorating. Echocardiogram Jan 24 showers severe mitral regurgitation, and ejection fraction 28%. Lots more drugs added to the cocktail and now under the care of both a cardiologist and an Electrophysiologist. Drugs

Nice cuppa with a side of palpitations 😂
I've had palpitations since December. Also on Amlodipine for high BP since January. I'm currently waiting for the results of a 24 hour ECG to see what's going on with these palpitations. Just recently I've noticed that while I'm drinking any hot drink it seems to set off palpitations almost immediately
