Re: flecanide - how to start - 1 year ago
I also started Flecainide at home. With regards to using Flec as a pip when having a breakthrough episode of aFib…. It was suggested on this forum that during a “breakthrough” chewing the Flecainide followed by a glass of warm water helps the med get absorbed more efficiently. I have tried this and feel the method has value. Perhaps the original poster can expand on this. In any event be suby Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Varipulse - 1 year ago
Do systems like these make it easier for EPs, even less experienced ones, more successful at performing ablations?by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Varipulse - 1 year ago
QuoteNancy9 Varipulse just paused their U. S. rollout due to concerns about stroke. I was feeling kinda encouraged until…….. but guess that’s what research is all about.by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Varipulse - 1 year ago
Maybe I get the gist of this but is it a significant step forward in ablation technology and effectiveness.by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: afib progression - 1 year ago
How is atrial fibrosis clinically diagnosed and clinically staged. Can this be asked for as part of regular.cardiac evaluations? May have missed this in the above explanation.by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Accuracy of Kardia Mobile?? Frustrated! - 1 year ago
May have missed it…. But, the Kardia does have an “advanced” app that is subscription based and gives 6 interpretations. I don’t know if you are using the advanced app or not but it would possibly give you a bit more information or help better define the “possible” aFib. However, as the more knowledgeable posters are suggesting, a Kardia reading may be of limited help about what is really goingby Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Why am I getting frequent supraventricular ectopics? - 1 year ago
Quotesusan.d Were you tested for sleep apnea since you get it upon awakening? Not directed at me but maybe it will help the OP. I have sleep apnea and use a bi-pap. Also, my pulse rate is low and I often experience bradycardia during the day. Maybe dips down at night and precipitates the ectopics. Anyway, EP is aware of all of this and not recommending any changes in my medication regime ofby Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Why am I getting frequent supraventricular ectopics? - 1 year ago
QuoteSueChef I cannot seem to attach a photo, so I’ll try to explain. Since yesterday, on and off, I felt these double heartbeats so I took a couple of Kardia readings. Kardia indicated sinus rhythm with supraventricular ectopics. My guess is that the ectopics are the double heartbeats I feel. Anyway, this morning when I woke up, I started having those ectopics again. Then my heart comes down aby Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Book - 2 years ago
Kinda but not necessarily that complicated and something a bit more in depth than say an “aFib for Dummmies.” Something that someone new to aFib might want to read, have on hand, and reference as they begin their journey. It might contain a lot of the same information that is provided on this forum but just catalogued, organized and all in place.by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Book - 2 years ago
Good idea and sorta did that. Also looked at the list of books in the “resource” section on this forum many of which have been referenced in one post or another. But some are topic specific or philosophy specific. Was just wondering about one that would be both the most current reference type book that would cut across all the main areas of aFib.by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
Book - 2 years ago
If I could buy one generalized up to date informational (history, causes, treatments etc) book about aFib what would that be? I am leaning toward one of Larson’s books but wonder if they are too dated.by Mark - AFIBBERS FORUM
