Kardia readings with a pacemaker
Am concerned tho that I shouldn’t be using the kardia(As kardia says they don’t recommend it’s use when you have a
pacemaker
) Are there any opinions on here? Do other people with pacemakers use kardia? thank you

Could my symptoms be caused by angina ?
Brief cardiac history , I have had a
pacemaker
since 2020, I had pericarditis and an effusion due to post procedure complications , thankfully now recovered fully from that after many months .

Is an ablation for Persistent AF right for me?
The number rises to 84% with AV node ablation and a
pacemaker
fitted. The clerk I spoke gave no details of the type of ablation they intended to carry out and didn't mention a
pacemaker
, which is not something I know anything about.

advice pacemaker
hi all been away for a while as uncle has been doing very well. This week is 6 months since the surgery and he has surprisingly got through it. I need some advice on pacemakers, how is based on left shoulder, he keeps getting on and off sharp shocks or pain from it. No chest pain no other symptoms.

Bi Ventricular pacemaker and ICD, please share your experiences
I have been offered a bi ventricular
pacemaker
and ICD as a result of my history of ischemic heart disease, various conduction issues, 30% ejection fraction, slow pulse rate. It is hoped getting both ventricles to beat together will improve pumping function and my general wellbeing.

Angiogram and Right Cath.
On meeting with the Surgeon the discussion came around to my pulmonary hypertension and he said if that was ok, as I have no other health issues I should be able to have open heart, as I’m not keep on the clip, I already have a
pacemaker
and with open heart they can move my leads from going through

I thought I would share
He told me just a couple of years ago what they had for a
pacemaker
would not work for me, and I would continue in heart failure, which usually ends up meaning a transplant. If a person is lucky. They are working every day to find new ways to give us quality of life. 😊

Three shocks in last twelve months and not been to hospital, anyone else had a similar experience?
I've had two ablations, both unsuccessful, but on the second one my AV node was accidentally ablated so I became
pacemaker
dependant. My previous hospital, I moved out of the area, were quite good and the protocol was to go in via 999 and ambulance after a shock.

DOACs
Cardiologist and EP now agreed I need a two lead
pacemaker
. I have been on warfarin all this time. EP wants me to change now to a DOAC. He says they are safer and all new AF patients are put on them rather than warfarin. I am unsure what to do.

Re-Referred
In the space of not even 12 months, I've gone from needing a
pacemaker
, to not, then to possibly needing one.

pacemaker
and a defibrillator however I have been informed that I would be put on the heart transplant list.

Phrenic Nerve damage on top of everything else.
I could pay $30k - $65k to have a
pacemaker
fitted on my diaphragm. (!!!) (They did the damage, shouldn't they pay for it??!) You might think this isn't a hard decision but: I had severe blood clots (saddle PE) after my CABGX3 which nearly ended it all.

Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy
I am wondering if I might be told I need a CRT pacemaker.If you have undergone this treatment can you please describe your symptoms pre implantation, treatment experience, and say if the
pacemaker
has improved your symptoms and quality of life. Thank you.

Question for anyone who has had OHS please
I have had a
pacemaker
inserted 2 years ago. I want to know from anyone who’s had this surgery if their breasts were soooo sore. I do have big boobs so not sure if this is why. Yesterday I have a cardioversion which was successful. I feel like I have gone back to day one with the pain.

Apixaban
His GP is puzzled and concerned and thinks it may apixaban but he still has to wait while she contacts the
pacemaker
team for advice. Can this be a side effect of his tablets?

CRT-P operation not successful
My partner was diagnosed year ago with heart failure and LBBB he has been doing well on his meds and yesterday was in hospital for a
pacemaker
implant. When he phoned me after it the last thing l expected him to say was it had been unsuccessful. Apparently they could not get the third lead in.
