The Haemothromb Test®
I am a UK citizen living in Hungary with two ablations under my belt (6 years apart). I currently take Pradaxa as the anticoagulant but am considering returning to warfarin. I was researching INR self testing machines when I came across this INR test - The Haemothromb Test®. I will investigate it further

Need for 2nd Ablation
I had an ablation in January 2019 which stopped my persistent afib. In Feb. 2019 I had a heart attack & had 3 stents. In 2018 I had been hospitalized twice for congestive heart failure apparently brought on by the Afib. My heart function has returned to a normal range. In a visit this week with my

Struggling with persistent back pain. Tips?
Hi all. I've been struggling the last few days with dreadful mid to lower back pain which isn't a typical symptom for me. I'm using my CBD oil as usual, amitriptyline, cocodamol, deep heat and hot baths but I'm still finding it difficult. I have to sit at a desk most of the day to work, but I'm finding

How to understand and treating reverse T3
Sorry, another post from me today! I have high levels of reverse T3, which I've been told can be caused by extreme stress, but I've also read that severe dieting/reduced carb intake can cause it. Does anyone on here know about reverse T3 and how to deal with it? My nutritionist says it can take a long

Thanking you all
Hi, Just to let all of you who most kindly gave me and my husband support through such a hard time of my husband having an AVR today. He has now had his procedure and in ICU, they have just taken him off the sedation and waiting for him to wake up. His blood pressure is high so they have started an infusion

Questions to ask Cardiac Surgeon
After being referred for a heart bypass just before lockdown, to my surprise I had an appointment to see the surgeon in two days. My anagram showed arteries completely block on RHS and 3 stents needed in LHS. Valves OK. A few weeks later my 'Nuclear MRI's' showed quite good blood flow on resting. In

Stroke following open heart
Well I was just starting to get up to 4miles brisk walk, following valve replacement. When everything gives way (left side) result, stroke on the right parietal lobe. Getting use of leg back, slowly. But messed up post op exercise routine. I see that this can be caused when in A.F. Is this common?

Is AF linked to weight gain?
I was diagnosed with PAF in 1998, at the time I was 36 and had had open heart surgery for a repair to a hole in the heart. I had an ablation in 2006 and for about 9 months I still suffered with episodes of AF and then as suddenly as they started they just stopped, until I had flutters for a couple of

Ablation failure?
Dear all.......want to relay my story to you all. In January I had an AFib ablation. I felt dreadful later very quickly and it was soon found that the combination of the ablation together with flecainide had given me AFlutter. 2 weeks ago I had a 6.5 hour ablation for my typical and atypical AFlutter

4 months post Ablation
and heart still behaving, have a few ectopics here and there but nothing much. Had 3 month follow up Tuesday by telephone due to current situation (only a month late) and EP very pleased with my progress. Told me mitral regurgitation (seen on TOE during ablation) was mild so absolutely nothing to worry

Hi, My mum is due to have open heart surgery in a couple of weeks time to replace a valve. For those of you who have had open heart surgery, is there anything you wished you had had during your stay in hospital, or something that you did have that proved really useful? She's got a list of the usual things
