Echocardiogram
I had an echocardiogram last October and have had another one recently. I got a letter from my cardiologist with a copy of the results saying it was ok but he gave virtually no information about the progression of my heart failure and permanent afib. I took a photo of both echo results and uploaded them

From ectopics and SVTs to paroxysmal A fib
Nearly 40 years of ectopics and am now 75. Last couple of years started getting SVTs and probably AFib from then but only recently diagnosed after a 14 day monitor. I had been on Bisoprolol which wasn't helping much so have been switched to verapamil. 1st tablet today and it doesn't seem to be helping

PAF conversion pause on Wellue 24-hour AI monitor
I purchased a Wellue 24-hour AI monitor a few months ago - mainly to catch my conversion pauses on ECG as I wanted to know how long they were. Have had PAF since January 2019, and conversion pauses at least from 2021. From October last year I have had 8 AF episodes when I have been shaking as I converted

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Drug information
Upon diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) many individuals are prescribed medications that include antiarrhythmic medication(s). These help to restore the normal (sinus) heart rhythm. They work by blocking specific electrical conduction channels in the heart. Many can slow the activation of the heart

Edoxaban forever?
I've been on edoxaban and bisoprolol after permanent AF became part of my life in 2022. I had an ablation in April this year, but went back in AF soon after so had a cardioversion and amiodarone for two months. I'm still in NSR, feeling better but still tired and get breathless fairly easily.At my follow

Non-sustained atrial tachycardia (NSAT) and flecainide
My most recent Holter showed various ectopics and a few episodes of NSAT. The bouts just lasted for a few beats (5 - 7) and my cardiologist was not overly concerned. I have just been advised to continue with my current medication (bisoprolol and flecainide), and to monitor the episodes in case they become

vibrations in chest
For the last month I have been experiencing what feels exactly like a cellphone vibration in left chest area. or a "buzz" with no sound. To touch the area nothing can be felt externally. For history, I have a couple of self-correcting afib events each year with durations of about 10 hours. I have

Bisoprolol alternative?
Hello all, Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with a reliable, effective alternative to Bisoprolol? My husband suffers from persistent AFIB and while it is helping slow his racing heart , he feels extremely fatigued and groggy and breathless most days. It obviously hasn't helped the irregulat

Would love some advice
I have had afib for about 4 years now and done 3 ablations so far. I am starting a new therapy called CPT cognitive processing therapy. It’s to deal with trauma in life and I just wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with this and having afib as this is very hard therapy to go through. And

More on Kardia…..
I sent one of my Kardia results off for a Clinician Review ( from Alivecor ) It was a ‘Sinus Rythmn with Supraventricular Ectopic’ reading that I wanted confirmed, as I am beginning to think all my SVEs could in fact be Afib ! Anyway, I just got the result which stated : Atrial Tachycardia. Can anyone

Electrolyte drinks?
I have had Afib since 1990 after an ACL surgery where I had a horrific response to General Anesthesia and Opioid pain meds. I am a redhead and have many of the redhead syndrome responses to drugs. I am on atenolol and have had a failed Ablation. I hydrate well but wonder what electrolyte powder or drinks

KardiaMobile ECG interpretation
I have had a KardiaMobile 2 lead device for about 4 years. In that time I have relied on the determination of Normal, Afib, Bradycardia, inconclusive and very occasionally PVCs along with my 30 second heartrate. However, I have not really paid much attention to the trace pattern. I have seen some somewhat
