Fibroscan vs CT scan for cirrhosis diagnostics
I will ask this question to my consultant but since I won't see him in the next 2 months, I'll go ahead and ask here in case anyone knows. As I understand, Fibroscan can correctly show the fibrosis reading of, let's say 6.5 kPa, but CT scan can still detect liver nodularity and scarring which corresponds

PVC’s (ectopics) or AF?
I’m now home following a bypass about three weeks ago. Whilst I feel fatigued, I’m managing to walk 500m or so daily. My resting heart rate has come down to about 58-68 bpm. The medication which I am taking daily to control arrhythmias is Bisoprolol 10mg which replaces my former Sotalol. There is

Cirrhosis!
silly question but I was wondering if anyone ever was told that they have cirrhosis and one day it all got cleared? Is it possible for the liver to heal once it has cirrhosis and if anyone has the experience of this then please share the treatment or life style changes you may have adopted. Many thanks

PVCs again and again!
Still seem to be getting more than my fair share of PVCs recorded on my Kardia. Yesterday every hourly reading recorded SR with premature ventricular contractions. Fed up with it as I'm really aware of them. I've taken an extra bisoprolol today and am hoping that helps.....I guess I'm going to have

Can ultrasound detect cirrhosis?
hi all I’ve had a clear ultrasound but I have high high serum ferritin. GP referring me for a fibroscan and I’m really worried I might have cirrhosis. Anyone know how good ultrasound is at detecting cirrhosis??? Ive been drinking at least a bottle of wine daily for about 6 years with very few days off

urinary tract infections
Does anybody else have a problem with recurring UTIs? And does anyone take low dose antibiotics regularly?

Anxiety over ectopics.
Morning all.I had a flutter ablation in May all good.My question is does anyone still check pulse overly and I'm in a constant state of anxiety every time the ectopics start seemingly out of the blue that they will fire up the arrhythmia again.Had a very brief followup after 7 months and I'm waiting

0ne year on from AF ablation.
Positive changes since my ablation in Dec 2021: my AF episodes and panic attacks have become less intense. My heart rate never goes beyond 120 BPM during an AF episode now, and the longest episode I've had has been about 90 seconds. My panic attacks have probably become less severe due to Bisoprolol,

New Here — Most Recent Arrhythmia
Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so. Being a non-cardiologist, my first thought was Afib and, indeed, that’s what my Apple Watch said. I ended

Eptopics And flutters
Well it's 6 years in dealing with these horrible things..PVCs PACs PSVT Fluttering..3 Cardiologist later and no real solution that works for me.I can say the one thing that has not worked is trying to EMBRACE them. I don't think I can ever get use to them or ignore them..no matter how I try. I take

Premature atrial contractions (PAC) and Premature ventricular contractions (PVC). Same triggers as Afib?
Just curious what causes PAC's and PVC's to vary so widely. Last night over an 8 hour period I had 2,608 PAC's and 1,237 PVC's, which was much higher then usual. My Afib burden is very low, each time only lasting 20 seconds and not as bothersome. The night before for the same period I only had 276

Anyone else feel voiceless in appointments?
So tired of everything right now. Speaking to my cardiologist who just seems to completely ignore excessive evidence provided to him relating to the frequency of my PVCs. Why is it adult patients are spoken to like they’re either stupid or children? I actually spoke up for once and said I felt

PVCs Should I worry?
My Kardia is picking up fairly frequent PVCs and Dr Google has informed me that frequent PVCs can lead to sudden cardiac death. Great! Now I'm really worried. Please help if you can throw any light on this. Feel frightened to go to sleep now and not sure what to do.

I have had three ablations, the first lasted a short time the second has lasted and kept me in rhythms but after contracting Covid, I havehad a third for many extra beats. I guess you call them pvcs? Has anyone experienced this result? I still have not gone back to the electrophysiologist for my follow

Metoprolol- advice please.
The chemist just delivered new tablets. Metoprolol , 25mg one twice a day. Experiences please? I had hallucinations on bisopralol and it dropped my BP so low I could barely move. BP normally averages 123/63. This is for constant PACs and PVCs. I react really badly to many meds and there are a couple
