My progress
Last weekend was 9 months since my AVR & CABG. I also had 2xPCI three weeks before that. This week I’ve been back to my local Cardiac Unit for a progress check. I’d had blood tests a month ago with my GP and they were fine. So the result is I’ve been told that they will book an echo for me in two years

cabg graft failure?
Dear all I had an 3 X cabg last summer ( I am only 44) and now I am experiencing chest discomfort and have had high pulse (apple watch) with minium effort. I went through blood tests and ekg and echo which all came in fine. This does not feel normal to me, has anyone experienced same symptoms and

Follow up to Monday CABG
First of all I want to thank you all for the messages of support i received before my operation on the 19th of February. The good news is that my triple bypass was a success ! I spent a total of 10 days in hospital, I had a few ups and downs, but overall I have had a positive experience, albeit sometimes

Measles outbreak
Hi, not sure if I'm being silly so looking for abit of reassurance. I'm on rituximab, azathioprine and prednisolone. I'm up-to-date with vaccinations bit concerned about the measles outbreak in my area. Am I at risk due to being immunocompromised?

Hi, is this group also help and support for partners of someone who had a heart attack/ bypass CABG? Thank you .
My husband had a heart attack 7 months ago aged 48. They fitted a stent and a week later had a double bypass CABG. He has finished rehab and he is growing stronger each day.

cellulitis
I’ve been diagnosed today with cellulitis - never had it before and knew nothing about it so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve been prescribed Flucloxacillin but unfortunately, by the time I was discharged from Urgent Care, the hospital pharmacy was closed so I can’t start them until the morning

Rampiril, half a 1.25mg tablet & a 1.25mg bisoprolol. Why the Rampiril ? 🤣
I wonder why I’m on such a small, fiddly dose of Rampiril? My bisoprolol was lowered from 3.75mg to 1.25 last September and the half 1.25mg Rampiril added. My BP is always 107-115 over 68-75 , resting heart rate 44-49 bpm. Been running 5k 3 times a week plus other activities. 7 months months post CABG

Monday Morning CABG
This is my first post and I have been a reader for a month or so of this forum. I have to say it has given me some comfort to read that i'm not alone. I am going into hospital late Sunday afternoon in preparation for my triple bypass Monday morning. I have to admit i'm slightly apprehensive and a little

failed CABG
had cabgx2 in May. Today I had angiogram which showed one graft was blocked and the other partially so. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so what was the treatment. They have made urgent referral to MDT and said they will plan what to do next. Options suggested were further bypass, stenting

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his

Holiday - flying
My husband would like us to go abroad for some winter sun in the next couple of weeks. Following my CABG in July I am anxious about flying. Should I be worried ?

CAD at 47 - Shock
Just a bit of background. Was suffering from anxiety attacks and heart palpitations last Sep. Was referred to a cardiologist (privately). Did the usual tests (holt ecg / Echo / CTCA). Whilst the ecg and echo came back with no issues, unfortunately CTCA showed moderate( 50%) stenosis in mid-LAD. Calcium

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from
