open heart surgery
Hi guys Just wondered if anyone has had surgery for either replacing or repairing a mitral valve and atrium valve? How were you after surgery and how long until you felt fairly ‘normal’ Thanks in advance.

CRTD and pacing
hi everyone, I had a CRTD pacemaker with defib inserted about 18 days ago as I had a cardiac arrest in hospital after being given a loading dose of digoxin whilst on Dronederone, following a cardioversion that initially worked but then put me into afib with high heart rate. I’ve heart failure now with

Anticoagulants and PPIs
Hi everyone, I have just had an annual medication review over the phone with a pharmacist. I am taking Apixaban 5mg twice daily together with low dose Flecainide (50mg x 2 daily) and Bisoprolol (2.5mg daily). The latter to offset any possible side effects from Flecainide!! I have been in sinus rhythm

moderate mitral regurgitation
my echo said I had moderate mitral regurgitation. I have been short of breath and fatigued. My EP has me on Flecainide for A Fib but read you shouldn’t take it if your heart is not structural sound. Does moderate mitral regurgitation qualify as not having a structural sound heart. Tried to look it up

Ablation a major disappointment
Good morning. I am a 66 year old male have always been very healthy no health problems active, outdoors, gym etc. people still think I’m iin my 50’s and until ablation a year and half ago was in better shape than a lot of 30 something out there. I had mild afib and was on 1/2 a motroplol twice a day

I want to say sorry from the medical profession
Hi all many of you have read my story but for those who haven’t a quick recap. Totally out of the blue quadruple heart bypass 7 weeks ago then a heart attack 5 weeks ago, I also found out I had a heart attack probably about 10 weeks ago, so obviously I’ve still got a long way to go with the physical

Tastebuds
It’s now gone more than five weeks since I had a triple heart bypass and my tastebuds are still messed up. From what I’ve read this happens in a minority of cases and is usually caused by anaesthetic rather than post op medication. It’s getting me down slightly, since I’m finding fruit and wine, especially

Follow up RF Ablation
I had my pre assessment yesterday and I was really impressed with the level of detailed information I got from the arrhythmia nurse . He spent an hour going through the whole procedure including drawing the heart on paper and explaining mapping and controlling coagulation over the possibly 3 hours of

After Heart Surgery
I am 65 years old and had minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in April 21. They went in through the right side of my chest and the op was a success. I am having an ongoing problem of water retention which I am now finding quite worrying. The GP has given me Furosemide water tablets 20mg to take

Ablation advice
My EP has booked me in for an ablation within next six weeks (Sept 13) but didn’t explain why I need it. It took my cardiologist a year to consider arrhythmia and a further year for an EP to investigate it via loop monitor. I’ve been told it’s a rhythm and rate issue, it’s PAF, it’s ectopics, it’s

can I still do it
I completed couch to 5 k after recovering from a heart operation 6 years ago. I have since been diagnosed with arrhythmia and suffered a knee injury. I will be 70 in a months time. Can I regain my fitness and get back to jogging, or should I call it a day.

Pacemaker with a leaky valve?
I have a slow heart rate...getting slower. Used to be in the 60's now commonly in the 50's and in the 40's when I sleep. I have a leaky heart valve which I believe is the cause of the slow heart rate. At my age of 78 and diabetes I do not think I am a good candidate for a valve replacement. Question

Heart Surgery, Lisinopril and symptoms
Hi all, I am waiting on heart surgery after being diagnosed with severely leaking aortic valve back in Dec 2021. I have an enlarged heart as a result but my ejection fraction was 64% at the time of the MRI (Feb 2022). My main symptoms are visible neck pulsations that I can also feel in my groin
