Hi everyone. I am diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, small vessel disease, heart failure. Cardiovascular disease runs in my family. My father died at 48 and my son had heart attack at 46. My mom had cardiovascular disease and had a stroke. I am 80 and had cabg 3 in 2017. Nice to meet you all.
Welcome to the CardiovascularDisease.net community! How are you doing today? Was there a topic that you came to the community to learn more about? Warmly, Kathy (Team member)
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it exposes me to cardio vascular disease at it causes plaque to form in my arteries. How do I lessen the effects"
My story, thanks in advance for the input.
Coronary artery disease involving native coronary artery of native heart without angina pectoris. 2- stents placed in LAD(2020) and RCA(2023) Ablation done in December 2024, LV summit region which did not help reducing PVC’s(26%). New plan: Sotalol 80mg 2x per day was started on 2/1/2025 to improve the PVC’s to hopefully 5%. We will see if the Sotalol is the solution… EP left the option of another attempt at an Ablation if needed.
My question to the group, anyone have a similar story and input on long term use of Satalol and a potential second attempt on another Ablation with results.
Thank you!
Greetings all! I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy in 2014 at the age of 25. I am a 2-time stroke survivor, former advanced heart failure patient, and heart transplant recipient. I am also a moderator and contributor to this community. Having experienced heart disease first-hand I have a lot of knowledge that I look forward to sharing with you all. Welcome to the cardiovascular disease community! -Olivia
nice to meet you, lovely name❤️ cardio vascular disease is such a challenge and most people can't tell you suffer from it. Plus it begins far before any symptoms come 😭 All my arteries are affected... I need to be rewired...
Wow so young. I am new to the heart failure diagnosis. I was concentrating on not having clogged arteries which I don't have so to be told I have heart failure was a surprise. I'm just so tired all the time. I take vitamin supplements is there something I'm missing? I take a multi, vitamin D3, B12.
Thank you!
