- The old format was much better
- No afib, I check my heart three times a day with an Omron portable EKG.Heart rate in the 50's.I know afib can come back.I just want to provide some encouragement to those of you who recently had an ablation.Ecofr
- I had my ablation 2 years ago. No afib after the blanking period. I still have some occasional PACs, but they are much less frequent than before the ablation. I know that afib can come back, but until now the ablation worked, much better quality...

- We had before polls about success/failure of ablation. But I think they were too complicated, requiring answers to multiple questions.Here is my simple poll for all the members who had ablation(s):If you were to go back to the time of your (first)...
- Does your rest Heart Rate (HR) always noticeably increase in afib?I am not asking whether you can have afib with a moderate HR (say 70), but whether it increases (say from 50 to 70) when going from NSR to afib.
- About a year has passed since I had an ablation, to try to take care of episodes of AFib and AFlutter that were recurring every 3-4 weeks. The episodes were mildly symptomatic, mostly a feeling that my heart was running fast. My Afib heart rate...
- Does your heart rate change when you go from NSR into afib?Is your heart rate faster when in afib?Can you have both bradycardia and afib at the same time?In my past episodes of afib my heart rate would always go into the 140's, while it was in the...
- This is my GUESS on the basics and limitations of the IPhone/Android Afib app, from the limited info appearing on the web. It may help some of you to decide whether you want to wait for it or get now a portable ecg like the Omron.You put your...
- Petey,I replied to your questions on zio patch, but the entire "afib app" thread is not visible to me anymore in the discussion page. You can still see it by searching on "Afib app" and clicking on one of the results.
- Why is Epogen considered dangerous when used properly to cure a bad anemia?My understanding is that it is a synthetic version of a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to create red cells. The danger comes from an excessive increase in...
- It's a Omron HCG-801, that was suggested by Petey.I like it, 30 sec ECG's are easily taken, they are stored in a SD memory card, and can be viewed immediately.You can download the memory card to you PC, where they are much more readable than on the...
- Almost 3 months passed from my ablation, and the EP decided to take me off the Coumadin after extensive monitoring and an echocardiogram.I am going to celebrate, of course not getting smashed but with a big salad! Only drug left is Metoprolol, that...
- Which heart drugs (rhythm control, rate control, anticoagulants) were prescribed to you for the period after the ablation and for how long?I asked this question already, got only 2 answers.ThanksEcofr
- I had an ablation two weeks ago. Full anesthesia. The EP told me that he created scars around 4 veins on one side of the heart for the Afib, and a linear scar on the other side for the Aflutter. During the first 9 days after the procedure I had...
