Atrial fibrillation is characterised by rapid and irregular beating of the upper chambers of the heart. Symptoms associated with atrial fibrillation include a reduction in exercise capacity, palpitations, as well as difficulty in breathing when exercising and fatigue. We spoke to leading cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr Saagar Mahida to learn about how catheter ablation can be carried out as a solution for this condition

When to take your blood pressure medication

Following the results of the Hygia Project - a controversial study carried out in a primary care setting in northern Spain - there has been confusion among patients and medical professionals as to when patients should be taking their blood pressure tablets: in the morning or before going to bed? Professor Melvin Lobo offers his opinion on the debate and at what point of the day he thinks it's best to take it.

How an electrophysiology study works

The electrophysiology (EP) study can help diagnose a wide range of heart problems and plan the treatment you need. Over recent years, the pool of patients who can safely benefit from an EP test has widened, and with the help of new scanning technology, the EP test involves fewer risks than ever before. We interviewed pioneering cardiologist Professor Sabine Ernst to find out what an EP test looks like in 2020.

Support atrial fibrillation treatment with lifestyle habits

Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm abnormality that is treated with curative procedures and medications. However, your lifestyle choices have the power to influence your treatment success. Learn how to support your atrial fibrillation treatment with lifestyle habits, as explained by a leading UK cardiologist and electrophysiologist, Dr Saagar Mahida.

Is there a link between coronavirus and heart failure?

Symptoms of coronavirus such as difficulty in breathing and in more severe cases, pneumonia, have been the primary focus of the respiratory disease. More evidence is surfacing from doctors on the frontline of managing cases, that shows that the virus can also infect the heart and potentially leads to heart failure. Read more on this and what it might also mean for those who live with a pre-existing heart condition.
