Cardioversion - preparation and aftercare - advice please!
Hi everyone, and hope a day of sunshine has raised spirits!I've been placed on a waiting list for cardioversion by my EP which I'm really happy about. I was diagnosed with AF last September or October (got a cat on my knee so can't get up to check the date!) and this rapidly progressed to persistent.

What is wrong with these drs?
Still doing great on Sotalol, so thankful for my new EP. I went to a new primary care last week, and we discussed my AF briefly. He said "why aren't you on anticoagulants?" "My EP said I don't need it at my age and with how little I get AF." He then brought it up again a short time later, "you might

Totally confused
I had a partial thyroidectomy about 2010. My thyroid levels were fine for several years but then started dropping into hypothyroidism range. I was put on Levothyroxine at 50mg and was ok for few years. Tested Jan 2023 was ok. Tested early Feb 2024 and was hyper not hypo so my gp reduced the levothyroxine

Piperine and L-dopa producing probiotic
I recently ran across a couple of things about gut bacteria that I thought were interesting. The first involves the use of piperine (an extract of black pepper) to keep l-dopa from being converted to dopamine by bacteria in the small intestine, leaving more to travel to the brain; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com

PROTACS: what they are and the good and bad of these molecules
Fascinating, and they are currently being tested also for degenerative diseases...they are a rather new technique...and yet we already have "advanced PROTACs", the speed of research is impressive... 1. PROTAC Mechanism Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic

Statins in older patients and their benefits
There is, not surprisingly, a lot of discussion here about us taking statins and one of the points often made is that there has been little evidence of benefit for over 75s - mainly because they are more often than not excluded from clinical trials. This is a patient summary of a Chinese study which
