Lowri Smith

Lowri Smith Hi All,
I am a congenital heart patient and have had several operations over the years, but I am due to go in to Liverpool Heart And Chest Hospital (Broadgreen) for cardioversion next week. I know what the procedure is and how it works but can anyone give my any other kind of advice e.g. what i am allowed to do afterwards and any other reasurrances. xx

Shelley

Shelley Hiya, my 17 week old little girl has Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), undetected in pregnancy. She had a heart op at 3 weeks old but we've just found out that there's narrowing of the pulmonary arteries near where she had a replacement valve so looks like she'll need another op in the next couple of months :( so scared xxx

I am 32 and have a defibrillator (ICD) fitted due to my mum and brother both dying from a rare heart condition at such young ages, now my 3 children have to have continuous checks, its scarey and worrying about their futures but i can honestly say that without my defib i wouldnt be around to see them grow and help them... through this .And I have found that my defibrillator really doesnt hinder any part of my life as i expected it would.....More research is needed into these areas for families like mine living in constant fear...The British heart foundation do a great job of giving out information and making things easier to understand for us lay foke....Thank you xxxRead more
