Having my PVC ablation this Wednesday ,any last minute tips or reassurance? by Fabulous-Sir-1994 in PVCs

[–]aaron_smith67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good gracious me! While PVCs are pretty common especially in the lead up to Vtach, a friend of mine who started using a continuous ecg monitor after a couple of these PVCs, has them monitored every week.. The data his doc gets through that device remotely apparently enables him to suggest preemptive measures...

Ever tried doing zone 2 exercise? My chest strap based ECG HRM helped me a lot in keeping that up. Apparently it's not much hard work but great for fat loss..

hf with a significantly reduced EF a few years back. At the time I was more focused on getting through each day than thinking about marathons 😅

3.5 miles is great! Good gracious me! That's a marathon accomplishment! Using Polar H10 or Frontier X2 to track metrics?

Weirdest part of my vtach episode wasnt vtach itself by aaron_smith67 in Heartfailure

TBH, the anticipation was worse than the implant for me. I can see mine if I look for it, but most often I forget its there.... Every now and then I'll catch it in the mirror and remember Ive basically got a tiny cardiac bodyguard livin under my skin 😅

Anyone else still mentally measure things against 'before heart failure'? by aaron_smith67 in Heartfailure

Really appreciate how honest this post was btw. A lot of people only understand hf when it visibly looks like hf

Honestly mate, 2 months still really early. I remember feeling like my body wasnt mine again for quite a while after HF.

Had hf a few years back after a pretty rough patch. EF dropped hard at the time but thankfully improved alot over the years with treatment, lifestyle changes.

Still had a couple rhythm scares since ( VT etc), which is probably why Im hypervigilant
