AFib and Blood Pressure
Is there a correlation or causation or no link between Afib and high blood pressure? I had sudden occurrence of persistent AF and high BP. My BP had always been well within the normal range. Thank you for any info you can provide. I know it will be thoughtful and I understand you are not physicians

Too much to take in!
A lot going on with no answers. Firstly having been diagnosed with AF in May, I had my fourth episode whilst in France a couple of weeks ago. Previous to that I was asked whether I would take part in the DOCCLA system which is an extension of a hospital ward apparently where they monitor you at home

Newly diagnosed AFib 40 year old
Hello everyone, last week I was diagnosed with persistent afib with lbbb and I'm terrified. I've been discharged with a bag of meds (bisoprolol, flecanide and rivaroxaban) and on the list for an ablation. I haven't been given much info and investigated everything myself. I just feel utterly depressed

Atrial flutter with variable AV block with premature ventricular or aberrantly conducted complexes[

Pace and ablate for atrial tachycardia?
Just wondering.....

We also know that one or more ablations, whilst on the face of

Boston Scientific I/v cardioverter) defibrillator question
Hi looking for first experiences of having the above device fitted. I'm one week on from the implant and the soreness from the operation is settling down. I am still sleeping on my right side which is fine. But when I am lying flat the box starts firing off, I guess in cardioverter mode. It's set
