Keyhole Maze Procedure Tomorrow
Tomorrow I will be one of the first patients in Australia to have a keyhole maze procedure. It seems that the success rate is something around 75-85%. Experienced my first episode of atrial fibrillation in 2000, as a fit and healthy 48 year old. Since 2000 I’ve been on a range of medications. Mainly

One more chance???
There was a recent post concerning Sotalol and I thought I would share my experience with it as well.I have been on Sotalol ( 120mg x 2) for the past two years. My EP at Duke had put me on that drug and dosage following my second ablation ( unsuccessful unfortunately). I have found that it makes me quite

There can be a cure for AF!
I have always been told that there is no permanent cure for AF, and accepted that over the past twenty years. I saw Professor Schilling today, for my three month post ablation check, and he said, quite specifically, that he considered me to be cured, and did not expect to have to see me again. For

Ectopics with AF
I am 11 months into diagnosis of PAF and lately am experiencing lots more unpleasant ectopics more so after eating evening meal. I take just one 40mg dose of Sotalol daily. Have had a couple of episodes of severe crushing chest pain which the doctor thinks could be gastric related rather than heart.

Sotalol and NICE guidelines
Hi, I have read comments on this site about NICE guidelines not recommending Sotalol for AFIB. It has worked great for me for over 10 years, although not perfect. I am 55 now. How do I find out more about the current thinking re Sotalol? 3 months ago I went the head of AFIB type unit at St. Francis

Scared
Hi, I usually sit on the sidelines here as I'm fairly new to AF and I am just learning about it all. I started with full blown AF last year (paroxysmal ) and after a terrible summer being medicated with sotalol giving me horrible side effects I eventually persuaded my cardiologist to give me flecainide

Sotalol side effects and an anticoagulation conundrum.
I'm a 61yr. old woman with PAF diagnosed 10 yrs ago. Episodes were becoming more frequent, and I was already up to 7.5mg Bisoprolol daily, not feeling good and neither was it controlling the AF. I started 120mg Sotalol, twice a day, 3 weeks ago, as a direct replacement for Bisoprolol. i've had 2 AF episodes

Living with rhythm changes.
Hi everyone, I have had atrial arithmia/flutter for nearly 12 years and had three ablations and one cardioversion and all have been reasonably successful, albeit for different periods of time. At present I am taking digoxin, sotalol, indapamide, perindopril and warfarin. Amiodarone was suggested before

Ablation Experience
I have been reading this forum for a few years, contributing occasionally (when I thought that it may be helpful) so I thought it time that I made a more significant contribution. I have had PAF for more than twenty years, originally with just one or two episodes a year, but gradually increasing in

Dark brown urine... could it be my meds?
I'm a bit concerned as over the past 24 hours my urine has been getting darker, and it's now actually dark enough to have me quite worried. Does anybody know if this could be a side effect of all the meds I'm taking or maybe something more serious that I need to get checked out? I was on Amiodarone
