    Cardiac Ablation for Intermittent Arrhythmia

    I can only say its horrible how our bodies betray us. A friend of mine's wife has just had a double mastectomy for similar familial reasons (she's had two kids now). Best Wishes

    Post Operative Cognitive Dysfunction

    I guess that's the reason forums like this exist ... not that you can avoid it, and the extent of it is directly related to time on the pump (meaning longer surgeries are more of an impact). Best Wishes

    Getting Cracked Open Soon and Choosing New (or Maybe Slightly Used) Parts

    Well thinking critically is a good topic. I've got a couple of blog posts which are perhaps good starters https://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/2021/07/done-my-research.html where Sabine does a good job as does Veritasium and I reference Monash Uni's page on the topic.

    you may notice that I've edited that reply to the facts which I didn't know. Sorry for my ignorance, but I literally don't know that machine and I've never spoken to anyone in Australia using them. So yes, they are defunct. Best Wishes

    60 y/o Female St Jude Mitral valve

    I see now that I've confused INRange with INRatio ... I had no idea this other product existed I was merely wondering what you meant, because I don't assume every person knows the meaning and uses every word correctly. However reading that TGA link all the way through I find this image...
