To ablate or not to ablate...etc
I finally received a telephone consultation, 6 months after my A&E admission for a fast AF. The A&E discharge report said "AF disorder SUSPECTED", and recommended a 24-hour ECG. The latest AF is only my second event in 5 years. I had an AF a year after my heart attack (stent inserted); the consultant

Attending an adult congenital heart surgery care workshop
Hey everyone. I hope you're all looking after yourselves. I haven't posted here for a while - evidence that my post-AVR life is going well I'm pleased to say. This is just a short post to say I've been asked by Guy's and St Thomas's (the hospital where I had my AVR in 2018) to take part in a virtual

Sauna/ Steam room/ after bypass.
Hi everyone, hope everything is going ok. Just wondered if anyone who has had a triple heart bypass has been told not to use any of these? Also thinking are you aloud to use a hot tub? Just thinking, as I would like to possibly join a health club. Thanks.

Apixaban side effects.
I have a new cardiologists. Hurray! He has taken me off xerolto, because of many violent nosebleeds. He says apixaban hopefully will reduce or eliminate these bleeds. My question is has anyone had any disturbing side effects from apixaban? I am starting on it today. Other than nosebleeds life is grand

Should I worry after heavy fall?
I was carrying a very heavy bedside cabinet and fell on the floor, no warning nor trip that I'm aware of. I think I may have fainted. Anyway, serious bruises to my arms and a hefty wack to my chest. Now some serious pain in chest mechanics and some loose clicking in ribs at bottom rib level. I had open

Researchers find 10-minute add-on heart surgery cuts stroke risk by one-third
As long as surgeons have a patient under anesthesia for one heart procedure, they may as well make it two—and according to a new study, the benefits in preventing future strokes could last a lifetime.

Heart Transplant
Has anyone else with Cardiomyopathy been told that their only option left is a Heart Transplant? Just received this info from Hospital 4 days ago and it's left me feeling so numb. Is anyone else going through this.

Constant Hyperchondria around testicular cancer
Hi all, hope you are all well and getting a bit of sun where you are. It has been a little while since my last post as it got to a point where I had to see my GP, and after a reassuring meeting I was on the mend and not worrying as much of having a heart attack constantly! However, things seem to be

Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

Recommendations to stop feeling sick with heart failure?

Just got to keep waiting. Even though the EP casually said just give me a ring if you feel unwell and I’ll
