Experiences with

Ventricular aneurysm

After recent cardiac MRI diagnosed with aneurysm of left ventricular outflow tract. Waiting to hear what happens next! Don't know if I've always had it or recent appearance. Treated for ovarian ca 3 years ago, so lots of stress, maybe that caused it? I'm 75yrs old. Has anyone else had this?

Just been diagnosed with an 16mm aneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract indenting the right atrium. Have to wait till 2 Sept clinic to find out what happens next. I am 75. This is obviously rather worrying! Has anyone else had this problem.

Hi I'm being investigated for my PVC's currently. They can see that they're coming from the right ventricle (if that helps!) Waiting for ultrasound and further ECG's. My question is this - Have any of you had a general anaesthetic whilst having this kind of burden? I've waited over a year for a

good morning I was on propranolol 80mg SR for a couple of years for anxiety and palpitations (probably perimenopause symptoms). over the 2 years I was on them I started to get very frequent PVCs (every other beat), bad anxiety, depression, insomnia and a horrible feeling like my body was being poisoned

Hello, earlier this past summer I posted that I got off hydrocortisone and back on prednisone. I started at 5mg prednisone a dose that had for years been enough to keep my symptoms at bay. This wasn’t enough so my new rheumatologist put me to 7.5. Sloley but methodically the inflammation increased and

Long history of pvcs, afib and flutter. After multiple unsuccessful ablations, my EP gave me one choice, live with your arrhythmia and have an AV nodal ablation. Fortunately, I was introduced to Dr. Natale via website for pacemaker patients, an EP with prestigious credentials who practices out of St.

Hi I've posted a couple of times about coming off propranolol. I'm down to 15mg per day (3 x 5mg) from 80mg. I've been 'ok' so far but today my heart started fluttering and my apple watch said it was 137 bpm (I was sitting on the sofa). It came down quickly after about 30 seconds but it has frightened

Hi everyone Any advice would be gratefully received. I'm currently on Propranolol. Was given it 2 years ago for anxiety. I was initially on 80mg Slow release. Over the past 2 years my PVCs have become unbearable (these have without a doubt gotten so much worse on propranolol, I was hardly having

I was initially very wary of AI because of some clanging errors I found (a pound of lead was heavier than a pound of feathers!), particularly when trying to get it to provide source data on some of the medical questions it had answered. It often actually invented citations, or quoted citations which

Hi Everyone, Been in sinus rhythm since Jan 22 from cardioversion due to PAFIB. However since July I have been experiencing ectopic beats. An ecg showed that I have PVC and LVH both usually innocent. But I am experiencing the extopic beats most of the day every day. I had a holter monitor last month

Hi everyone I wonder if anyone could help me as I'm freaking out a little. Brief history, I've had a lot of ectopic beats and fast heart rate over the past few years that has been attributed to periomenopause (and anxiety). I'm on 80mg slow release propranolol and have been on this for a few years

I would never consider driving or learning without consulting Drs about my personal symptoms first, but I'm wondering if anyone else is willing to share their experiences? Was it possible? Did you have to have treatment first? I have PVCs and PACs, and I'm anxious that I may have NSVT as sometimes they

I've just had the results of my tests (holter, ecg, echocardiogram), all came back clear. My daily PVCs have been either under control or just not noticable for the most part with lifestyle changes (more exercise, less caffeine). But last night while resting (reading in bed) I had a sudden, painful PVC

Recovery from PFA was much easier than previous methods.. Still in normal sinus rhythm at the 6 month point., No wobbles but very occasional PVCs for a few seconds. Fitness better than before (nothing too taxing, walking, swimming & gentle pilates) consequently mentally in a much better place! Thanks

I have had a Wellue ECG device for a few days -- the kind that can record heartbeats for up to 24 hours. When I review one of these recordings, I can immediately see the ECG tracings. The file with these tracings can be hundreds of screens long, one screen per minute of recording time. You can advance

After over 6 months of persistant Afib, cardioversion that worked for a week, two cancelled ablations, I had my first ablation 10 days ago at Nottingham City Hospital trent Cardiac Unit. The staff were brilliant, very impressed with the care, skill and support given by the surgeon, anaesthetist and the

So, shortening a long story, AFib from age 40, successful ablation (PVI + flutter + mitral line) at age 48, 15 good years then an aortic dissection at age 63, the long OHS surgery for which put me back in Fib. Sinus for 5-1/2 years on Amiodarone but it was slowly weakening me, plus bad ectos. After

My last (3rd) ablation was 5 years ago, which went really well. Afib has been pretty much under control. I have only had one electrocardioversion about 1 1/2 years ago. About 3 1/2 years ago I developed an auto immune disease, Giant Cell Arteritis, then Covid pretty bad. It’s been rough but my heart
