also, subsequent to successfully cryoablation by one of the top cryo guys in the nation (Wilbur Su at Banner in Phoenix), a cox maze IV was done during a CABG open heart surgery along with excision of the left atrial appendage as an insurance policy ... good thing too, because i just had my mitral valve replaced five weeks ago and the cardiothoracic surgeon laughed when i brought up the possibility of afib as a consequence of the surgery and said he thought i was likely afib-proof ...
" paul314 April 30, 2024 06:36 AM The beginning point of this study is acute hospitalization, which tends to mean the patient is already seriously ill. Sounds as if it would also make sense to catch and manage atrial fibrillation earlier so that emergency hospital admissions aren't the beginning of the therapeutic window." Thanks, paul314.
My dad had it, my two younger brothers both have it. I was probably on my way to it but I went carnivore six years ago. I dropped weight and got healthy.
Mine was present for at least that long but went unnoticed until an episode of acute respiratory failure. Mine was severe as well, but I went past a CPAP level and live with a ventilator plus supplemental o2. But it’s all good.
The SW algorithm is called AVAP. Means Average Volume Assured Pressure
It was an accident.
I had two windows open with the same story but different sources, and copied the title from one and the article from the other..........
I have A-Frib
I have a watchman in my heart to thin the blood to prevent clots from going to the brain. I have a link monitor in my chest.
Any one have experience with these?
