Hi just to tell you I had an ablation and cardioversion after, one week ago. Unfortunately, after 2 days the heart returned to beat too fast and now I am on (amiodaroni hydrochloricum) to slow heart rate for one month, this medicine is very destructive for a longer period, damage eyes.I will have again cardioversion in the end of september.
When I started to be ill, it started alltogether, bad heart diabetes high blood pression, all must be connected, I guess.

Recently I just awoke to the fact, that of my sister, mother and father, I am the only one still alive. There is a long history of Heart Conditions in my family, all the way back to my maternal grandfather. Both my mother and sister were Diabetics also.
7 years ago I had a stent placed in the RCA and several blockages were found in the LCA that were under 75% at the time. Now my B/P is back to normal range and my heart rate is not is Tachy as it once was. I am a retired RN and not as active as I once was, so my activity has really slowed. However, I still can keep up with 4 great grandchildren, sorry make that 5. I thank the Man up stairs every morning for allowing me a new day with my family.. and husband.

Today I recognized a deeper significance to our celebration of Christmas.  For me it is a celebration of love.  This year, more poignantly than ever, I have an overwhelming sense of joy with my family. The heart bypass evidently opened the flow of love as well as blood.  And, although there is still some blockage, I have time to get healthier.

Good one to join!  I had rheumatic fever at age 10.  A silent heart attack in 1989, with a resultant stent implant, and now have Coronary Artery Disease, and Congestive Heart Disease.  I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in 1986, and two weeks ago I was placed on Lantus insulin.  So, does that qualify me?  I've got a few other things too, and my doctor told me that I have TWO big medical files on me!  Lucky to be alive!

I was dx with heart disease 13 yrs ago I have 4 stents I was dx with type 2 10 months ago. One of my doctors wonders if maybe I was diabetic all along and no one noticed

Not too much action on this group, but had a CABG x 4 in February of this year...Actually, my diabetes seems to be the only thing I can control! Long recovery.
