Avatar f tn Although SVT is generally not life-threatening in an otherwise normal heart, symptoms from the racing heart may feel quite uncomfortable. These arrhythmias are common in young people.
Avatar f tn Many individuals following open heart surgery have a memory problem for about 6 months post operation. Open heart surgery puts the individual on heart and lung machine so the fibrosis is probably not an issue during the operation. The main problem with the heart is the valve orifice and that can be corrected without open heart surgery (sometimes). The aorta regurgitation can be the cause of shortness of breath as well as the pulmonary issue. What is the operation expectation.
Avatar n tn There have been several discussion on the procedure and the recovery, one thread is has over 100 posts - I forget the number. I did a search on "5 box" and found this list: http://www.medhelp.org/search?query=5+box&camp=top_nav_search I would guess you can find something helpful in there. Please remember, this forum is a discussion by patients, not medical advice or even "professional" advice. Good luck, I am sure it will go well.

Avatar f tn I've had heart palpitations for 10 months, they started right after a hiatus hernia operation. I get them everyday. I get them at different times, while watching tv or just relaxing in bed, doing normal everyday things. I had blood work done and was told I was low on B12 and was told to take 1000 mcg of a supplement daily. While taking it the palpitations got stronger so I stopped taking it and they eased up.
Avatar m tn t exclude an iondividual from an operation. If that were the criterion as a basis for an operation, then heart surgery, etc. would be contraindicated. The doctor may have other reasons concomitant to a heart issue...you should ask! The best method for determining the best hospitals and medical is from a health professional in your country. You could contact the Cleveland Clinic by email for more information and may be they could help you.
Avatar m tn EECP is a treatment where cuffs are placed on the thighs and inflation of them is timed with your heartbeat. Each time your heart compresses to eject blood, the cuffs squeeze, restricting flow into the legs. This increases blood pressure in the coronary arteries and seems to entice collateral (natural bypass) vessels to open up. It is a relatively new procedure and seems quite promising in many cases. Most patients have reported feeling much better.
Avatar m tn Having a past detachment increases your risk greatly of having another one in either eye. Intraocular surgery like cataract surgery also increases your risk in that eye. Have a "heart to heart" with your surgeon about the risks. If you need the cataract op to see, do it. I have done many such cases and have rarely had a problem. Also, have the retina checked. If there are any suspicious areas which may result in a hole, you might have them lasered in advance of the surgery.
Avatar n tn My teenage friend had recently been diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. He has to have an operation to help fix this problem. What will be done during the operation? What are the risks of having this operation? How will he be affected by the operation, positive and negative?
Avatar m tn My Husband has a blood clot in his heart and 3 blooked arteries can,t have an operation too dangerous is now eating well and learning to walk.
1303001 tn?1272992360 Sometimes Doctors refer artificial hearts as being ventricle assist devices which are put inside the chambers of the heart to assist the pumping. The good thing with this is that you keep the original heart and the heart rate can still change, which I don't believe a mechanical heart can. Mechanical hearts have been used to keep a patient alive until a donor is hopefully found. I know there has been a lot of research in artificial hearts in the US and Japan, using animal tissue.
Avatar m tn Usually, aortic valve stenosis is not done if the heart is failing. So the usual protocol would be to get your heart back to normal size and function and then perform an operation on the valve. No reply. QUOTE: i writ to you last night and i forgot to tell you i have high colsetrol and low blood presure i need some advise in a emegence. >>>>Usually high cholesterol and low blood pressure is not an emergeny situation. How low is blood pressure?
Avatar m tn s, I was born with heart defects, and because of this am lining up for my 6th open heart surgery operation at aged 28. I have had my pulmonary valve replaced twice before, but this time I am supposed to get both the pulmonary and aorta valves replaced. I guess i am a little (lot) scared about it as I feel I have just entered a phase where I have a lot of living yet to do and really don't want this to end me now.
418466 tn?1207114132 cuz no other vets want to help me;unless i give them report of the surgery? And i cant even track the vet that dun it down!..
Avatar n tn What kind of surgery did you have? What was the purpose of it?
Avatar f tn Im in a lot of pain now because the drug is not working and am going for an operation tomorrw for a fundoplication which they are going to pull my stomach up and wrap it around my oesophagus like a hotdog to strengthen the valve which is called the les or lower esophagal sphichter(dont think i spelt it correctly but you know what i mean) SO I WOULD SUGGEST YOU SEE YOUR GP AND EVEN ASK TO HAVE AN ENDOSCOPY. so he can diagnose you correctly.
Avatar n tn my father having hernia problem, he had heart blockages too 90,99,90% we come to know in an geography, we don't want to do bypass sugary but want to do hernia operation whether it is suitable for him???
Avatar n tn as I am getting no answers here in Australia from any heart surgeon I am coming to you for help ... There also was no report of any particular high line pressures, there was some disease noted in the right femoral and iliac arteries but with satisfactory flows,.Why would you use a disease artery to cannulate? Does the postion of the cannular make a big difference? should it been postion elsewhere? Did he demonstrate the requiste care and skill in the conduct of the operation?
Avatar m tn If there is an overload of fluids (volume) that condition will/can overwork the heart and as a result the heart becomes weak and almost always the heart size will increase. The 15% of blood pumped into circulation with each heart stroke can back up the blood received from the lungs and fluids can leak into lung tissues and cause congestion... There has to be a reduction of fluids (blood volume) before there can be good heart pumping functionality, and that may cause a delay for the implant..
Avatar n tn There is a mixed view on when to do a valve operation. The Mayo Clinic's renown heart surgery states publically that the biggest problem he see is that the patient waited too long. Waiting too long can require an operation when the left ventricle is enlarged and that condition would reduce the EF, and an operation subsequently the EF may never return to normal function.
Avatar m tn With children there is usually two operations, the second operation to account for the growth factor of a child.
