Congrats fella (y)

It seems as though R&D work to develop an artificial heart valve made from a copolymer is progressing in the UK too : https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/medical/new-artificial-heart-valve...

Interesting stuff PAN (y) the paper below also seems to suggest even younger adults who have mechanical AVR have sub-optimal long term survival rates compared to the general population, whereas those undergoing the Ross procedure have comparable rates to the general population. However, it...

Actually I've since discovered my treadmill does not accurately read the speed. When I set it at 14km/hr, it's really around 10-11km/hr :LOL: I wasn't as fit as I thought :( All the same, I can run as well now as before the surgery (y) Had nearly a week off beta blockers, and I've noticed my...

@PAN Have your had your surgery yet ? Haven't seen you post on the forum for a long time (y)

:LOL: i was gonna ask the OP for her mobile number with a figure like that ! ;) I had a little unexplained wound at the bottom of my neck, undoubtedly where some tube of another was inserted during the surgery

very impressed with your flat tummy. You're in great shape :cool:

Merry Xmas folks :cool:

I had aortic valve and aorta aneurysm repair in April. After I was discharged I wasn't prescribed any beta blockers About 10 days after being discharged my heart went into atrial flutter Had to spend a night in A&E, and a further 3 days in hospital After that i was prescribed 10mg bisoprolol and...

RIP Debs:cry: I see she was from Cheshire, right by me. What hospital did she go to ?

Congrats mate on the 10th anniversary of your surgery (y) The surgery is a major milestone in all our lives ...not something we should forget

Yes, I agree knowing you're likely to be sensitive to warfarin by checking your genotypes is only going to be of benefit when you begin taking it...so as not to overdose initially (which is what happened to me in the hospital, as they loaded me with the standard 4-5mg/day dosage, and i went over...

just read through this thread and checked my genotypes on 23andme rs2108622 : CC rs12777823: AG certainly explains the low warfarin dose I require to keep me in range (1.5mg/day) " The rs2108622 (V433M) variant in this gene, a C>T missense SNP with global MAF 0.24, designated as the *3 allele...

I have a naturally low resting heart rate anyway tbh. Before surgery it was around 50-55 bpm Yes , the wait between going into a-flutter and cardioversion was 2 months ! Annoyed me quite a lot actually, and I spent plenty of time phoning up etc to try and get it done Problems with staffing at...

Just had my outpatient checkup (ECG, echo, consultation). Consultant agreed that my resting heart rate of ~45bpm was a little too low. My dosage of bisporolol is to be reduced to one 2,5mg tablet in the morning (no more evening tablet) for 2 weeks If my heart rhythm remains Ok, then after 2...

I was in persistent flutter, heart rate was 140bpm, then after going on b-blockers around 90bpm at rest. since cardioversion i've had no more episodes i drink coffee once a day...alcohol i've just started drinking a little since the surgery...about 2 pints of lager (seems to do nothing to me...

your situation is almost identical to mine! I had aortic valve replacement and repair of the aorta in April. I'm 47, was asymptomatic pre-op, and in good shape Around 2 weeks after the surgery i went into atrial flutter and had to spend 3 days in hospital again. I then started on bisoprolol...

rugby league ?

In 1983 I think it was , as a 9 year old I had tonsillitis and the GP picked up a heart murmur...was then referred to the hospital for further investigation.....that's how they found out Once it was confirmed I was pulled out of the school football and athletics teams :(
