Atrial fibrillation
Had an ablation procedure 6 yrs ago and this halted my first experience of atrial fibrillation. Now has started back up again. Leaves you feeling dreadful,short of breath and scared. Obviously went to A n E ,13 hrs to be discharged with app at GP for ECG 8 days later. Still waiting for that. Over the

watchman device implant
I’m scheduled for ablation #2 in February, at which time I’ve decided on a Watchman implant during the procedure. My reasons? I want off of anticoagulants. They carry their own risks of bleeding and even hemorrhagic stroke, plus require limiting changes in an active lifestyle, and are not a permanent

New Blood Thinner for Stroke Prevention
Hi all, Some exciting news for those on Blood Thinners for AF. Abelacimab is a monoclonal antibody given just once a month by subcutaneous injection. It is not cleared by the kidneys, doesn’t require dose adjustments, and is not affected by other drugs. It achieves near-complete 99% inhibition of

PROTACs: another technique to help with mCRPC
I always wondered, if these protein degraders can basically destroy AR receptors, hence overcome both castration resistance and making the cells refractory to androgens...wouldn't it be useless to continue with ADT? Oh well... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332222015013

Pvcs and pacs following acute afib episode and Apple watch ecg/ekg
Following my first (confirmed) afib attack a month ago(with rvr) I seem to have an occasional flip flop or thud and flutter from my heart. Cardiologist and EP discontinued my beta blocker after 10 days because my HR is already low and the flip flopping came a few days later. Yesterday I discovered

Proposed ablation next week. 48 Yr old. PAF
Hi all, I have been on waiting list for a catheter ablation for over a year. They called me today and offered an ablation next week at a private hospital instead. Has taken me a bit by surprise to be honest. My AF is paroxysmal and generally very tolerable. I'm 48 so not sure if I should go ahead with

Yellow eyes last 10 days (b/c medications?)
So, last 10 days I noticed my eye whites are a bit yellow. Not extremely and not the complete area of whites but enough to get me worried a bit. I take propafenone 3 times a day and bisprolol once for the last 40 days since the afib diagnose.I presume this is because my liver is handling those medications

Afib/tachycardia
Can any of you tell me your experience with the drug Amiodorone? My cardiologist, which I have not seen yet is planning on putting me on it! My last pacemaker check up showed that I had tachycardia during afib. I’ve had afib for years (24+) two ablations, no help. Only drugs are bisoprolol and apixaban

Stopping medications
Is there anyone else with
atrial
flutter
that is not taking any medication? I know that there are some surgeries to correct it, could they be a possibility for people that cannot tolerate medications?

Home testing machines
I am new to this group and I have family with afib, I have panic and anxiety with rapid heartbeat but was trying to rule out heart issues. I bought a kardiamobile ekg machine and tried it about 10 times and always got unclassified. My husband tried it and he got normal so it didnt appear to be interference

Blood thinners from the first diagnosis or?
Is it standard practice to put you on thinners from the start or only if you develop permanent afib? Because I didn't get blood thinners. Just bisoprolol and propafenone. Mind you, my episodes are pretty short. Never more than 45min, and vast majority under few minutes. 40 days since diagnosis.

Hi, quite new to this forum and this is my first post. Recently diagnosed with Afib, 58 year old man, otherwise healthy. I have different types of episodes. Some seem to be just ectopics - sporadic skipped beats; some I guess Afib since lasting longer with a "bird in the chest/stomach " sensation and

To start blood thinners or not? Response.
Many thanks for all your responses: it is so helpful to learn from others’ real life experiences and I value the advice. Apologies for referring to blood thinners when I should have used the term anticoagulants. Having already reduced my alcohol consumption I cut it out completely 9 weeks ago. Only

Permanent Afib and Longevity

Post ablation (1 week) and back in AFib. How often is this likely to happen over next few weeks?
Have had PAF for a few years and this year episodes became lengthier and more frequent, the latest lasting 4 weeks. Had a Cryo-ablation last Tuesday at Lancashire Cardiac Centre and was ok for a week, albeit with a few spells of ectopic beats and a very short run of AF (30-40 seconds only). Went on

To start blood thinners or not?
For the last three years I’ve suffered paroxysmal AFIB about once every month or two on average. I believe it to be vagally related as it typically occurs in the early hours of the morning and normally I can trace the trigger back to large meals and indigestion or alcohol consumption. Normally my heart

Has anyone ever been told that ablation will not work for them?
Hi all i am quite baffled as to why private cardiologist has referred me to one of his colleagues for ablation. I have been told numerous times, by nhs cardiologists, that ablation will not work to treat my afib. If fact one previous doctor said, "Ablation is out of the question due to extent of enlarged
