Not great news today
The end of October I had a cardioversion that failed in less than a month. I met with my cardiologist two weeks ago and he confirmed what I thought that it failed. Actually I have atypical flutter it’s not my a fib as such. He wanted me to meet with the EP he works with so today was the day to do that

📚 Research 101: Who can take part in a clinical trial?
All clinical trials have guidelines about who can participate. Before joining a clinical trial, a participant must qualify for the study. The factors that allow someone to participate in a clinical trial are called "inclusion criteria" and those that disallow someone from participating are called "exclusion

Afib breathlessness
Firstly, sorry, I don`t know how to add to an old post so started this. To try and keep it short I had a cardioversion for Afib which worked for a few weeks. I was later put on bisoprolol which I really struggled to walk any distance and upstairs (Asthmatic). Many kind people on here gave me good

Focal Ablation doesn't work (again)
Cryo joins HIFU, FLA, and IRE as substandard focal thermoablation therapies. Aker et al. reported (below) that on biopsy 18 months post-treatment, 35% still had clinically significant prostate cancer (only 46% had no prostate cancer), and that neither MRI nor PSA were good indicators of treatment failure

Ambroxol
Would anyone share if you have participated in a clinical trial using the drug Ambroxol for PD? There have been several clinical trials which have published encouraging resusts, mostly in the UK. I am not formally in a trial but have been duplicating the dosage for about 12 months. My experience is favorable

Premature atrial contractions (PAC) and Premature ventricular contractions (PVC). Same triggers as Afib?
Just curious what causes PAC's and PVC's to vary so widely. Last night over an 8 hour period I had 2,608 PAC's and 1,237 PVC's, which was much higher then usual. My Afib burden is very low, each time only lasting 20 seconds and not as bothersome. The night before for the same period I only had 276

Should I give up taking Amiodarone
I had a cardioversion last May and was delighted that it worked first time. I took 100mg Amiodarone daily until November when I slipped into AFib again. I did a 3 per day 200mg amiodarone for one week, 2 per day and then 1 per day and this hasn't sorted it. My resting pulse is 75-80 (whereas normally

Eliquis and CBD gummy’s
I am taking 5 mg of Eliquis two times a day. I started taking 20 mg of CBD Gummies which has helped my mood and pain immensely. I did some research and read that you should not take CBD with Eliquis as it can be very dangerous causing an overdose of Eliquis. Has anyone here tried taking CBD with Eliquis

To those who replied to my question on clinical trials
To those who replied to my question on joining clinical trials, I am overwhelmed by your kindness in sending me emails. I will answer your emails soon but I am currently recovering from a cataract operation and though my eyesight has improved a lot I still have difficulty reading and writing. Bear

IVIG after heart surgery and stopping IBRUTIMIB
12 months ago I was on an Ibrutinib clinical trial for my CLL. Ibrutinib worked great for me for years. I found out I needed a triple bypass due to 95% LAD artery blockage. Not good! A stent wasn’t an option in my case due to necessity for blood thinners. Can’t do blood thinners, aspirin and Irbutinib

Vagus Nerve and Afib Questions
Folks, Can I test out a few elements of my understanding of the vagus nerve and vagally induced Afib with any of you that understand it better than I do please? 1. Vagally induced Afib is triggered by an over-active or over-stimulated vagus nerve, which in a sense means that you are too calm or relaxed

response to clinical trial application?
A couple of months ago, I applied for a clinical trial that had just started recruiting. They are still recruiting and have begun administering the trial drug to participants. I never heard from trial staff. Has anyone applied for a trial and received notice whether they were rejected? Thank you. Sashay
