Going to do a ablation today maybe this will fix my problem.

Yes, I’m actually in the ER right now. Said it maybe atrial flutter and not afib. Running labs and waiting on a echo. Just want to get this straight. Thanks for replying.

Thank you, I had a maze 18 years ago and did good then I started again with a fib a year or so ago. We did a cardio conversion and it did good for about a year then it came back and we started rythomal and it worked then I had a paravavular repair and it came back. So now I’m kinda trying to...

Did the ablation stop the AFib or flutter

They went in through a catheter. Feel pretty tired and sore at the Cath spot. I have noticed that my resting heart rate went from 60 to 80. I wonder if this is something that will go back down? They also confirmed t=it worked with a echo the next morning said everything looks good. It also feels...

Can anyone that had this done explain to me what to expect tomorrow? Thanks

Ok so this will be a long post sorry for that. So I have a mechanical aortic valve. I am supposed to have surgery on my ear to remove a cyst inside my ear drum. The surgery is scheduled for August 3rd. I am supposed to bridge over from Coumadin to lovenox injections starting Friday. Well last...

Thanks for responding. Did you notice a difference after the repair? What was you overall experience with the repair? My Dr did a video call, which I didn't like, I had rather of had a face to face discussion. I have no idea what to expect.

Cleveland Clinic is one of the best heart Hospitals around. I love the hospital but the last time I was there I thought I had AFib, They did a ekg and then I went to see the cardiologist where they confirmed Afib. They send me to the part of the hospital that deals with the afib and the Dr said...

I did tell Dr A what B said and he said Im not sure why they wouldn't fix it.

I have a mechanical valve and it has a leak around the outside of it. The Dr wants to "Plug" The leak in the valve. This is at UAB Birmingham. My cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic did not eat to do this at this time. Im kinda confused as to what to do. Do it or don't do it. UAB said it would...

Sorry for the delay in response. I had a right and left Cath done. I was kinda expecting to be knocked out to a point but they didn't give me anything until I was in the OR. They wanted me awake for the one in the neck but I don't remember it. I woke up when they were going into my wrist and...

I had a Cath 18 years ago and they went in through the groin, I had to lay flat for 8 hours afterwards. This time the Dr said they would go through my neck for a right ad left Cath. Didn't even know there was a difference. Anyways has anyone here ever had this done in the neck? What should I...
