Received a prompt digital report today of yesterday’s cardiology review. It appears I most likely have a PFO. A summary at the end of the detailed report said: Summary … largely asymptomatic from a cardiac point of view with stable parameters of mild to moderately stenosed six years old...

Sorry to hear that Buck. Hope you managed a full recovery. Should a PFO turn out to be the case with me, it will be extraordinary that it had been missed after all these years and tests. Hope I get some confirmation either way soon.

Had my planned half year cardiology check-up today. Which included an echocardiogram. All looked good on the valve front. Everything seemed tuned nicely. Cardio says everything has remained stable since my last echo. My gradients looked fine and have stayed reduced, thanks to the warfarin...

Same as you, I get the 1, 3 and 5 mg tablets prescribed in London. But I also requested additional 0.5 mg tablets, which they don’t automatically prescribe it seems, but which the doctor seemed fine about prescribing. So the 0.5s are now part of my regular prescription. I currently take 8.5 mg...

Fantastic to hear, Anne! And great they've offered you a CT Angio... plus a possible Holter monitor. The more data, the better! All the best with your neurology appointment. Hopefully, that will be soon. Keep us posted!

Good news the brain MRI and carotid scan were clear. And good to know you have a cardio appointment next week. Hope you’re given some answers and effective treatment offered if needed. My mini stroke surprised me in December 2023. I’d assumed the 75mg of daily aspirin I had been taking since...

Happy 3 years, d333gs. Long may it continue!

Hi Val Really sorry to hear your news. The positive is that they have caught it sooner rather than later. Am wishing you all the best for Friday's surgery and a good and steady recovery going forward.

Happy Anniversary! 🤩 Really great to read your update. Very glad to hear things are improving so well and that your first hike since surgery gave you such a stunning view! Fabulous photo. Wishing you all the best and many more healthy anniversaries going forward. 😊

Great news! And a Happy Decade to you.

I’m not sure this statement is correct regarding high-risk UK patients. I was specifically told by my cardiologist on my 2 month post valve replacement surgery follow-up, to make sure I always took antibiotics for any invasive dental procedure. At a cardiology review in May 2023 following a...

12 and counting, Martin! Good news. 🙂

Just to say, you have helped me tremendously down the years with your wise words and guidance. Am ever grateful. So a big Thank You to you.

Greetings SwansCity It's good to hear you've secured the surgery to be done sooner rather than later. Excellent news. I wish you all the best in the weeks up to your surgery and beyond. Will be looking out for your posts as things progress. 🕊️
